The Chaser's War On Everything (ABC Friday 2145 and no this is not a Helen Coonan approved ad!) sent up the PA quite well.
One of the Chaser's Craig?/Chris? decided to try out the announcements at an open mic comedy night.
And guess what?
It died big time, nary a laugh or even embarassing snicker.

I recall some time ago, my return flight was late, was announced late in the terminal.
A/C duly arrived, with terminal announce stating that as pax had been sick, a/c would need to be cleaned.
Upon making boarding call, pax in row 1 -13 you will be pleased to know that the pax was sick down the back. Pax in Row 14 - 21 you too are safe. pax in row 22 ..... give or take a row.
Professional?
The image that they want to portray?
Oh migod we've spilt the face paint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quick Cap'n, we need to land as we've only painted half the cabin, and we want to make sure that we get our performance bonus.
