This type of banter is typical on an airline like EK. One has to have a bit on insanity to cope. Unlike other airlines such as CP, on EK, lets face it, it's not possible for the crew to laugh 'with' the pax ... only 'at' them as they hurl a tray across a row of seats with a dealy smirk on their face! You know what I mean chx_or_fish!!
