All apart from the 'stewardess' reference. Not least because I'm male ...
It's a reference to one of the funniest scenes in the movie "Airplane". A couple black passengers are talking - one of whom is complaining of severe symptoms of food poising - the stewardess asks what's wrong and the black guy answers in 'jive' - a lingo popular with some in the black community but nearly indecipherable to most white people. So an elderly white lady sitting nearby pipes up and offers to help as she speaks 'jive'. The following conversation in jive between the two black guys and the white lady is hilarious.
It's the sort of humor that they'd not be able to get away with in today's PC culture.
