I can't help thinking of the announcement on a Virgin Atlantic flight (LHR/LGW, can't remember which, but going to Miami). "Smoking is NOT permitted anywhere on this flight, not even in the toilets. Should you decide to smoke in the toilet, please enjoy the shower of extinguisher foam with our compliments".
This level of humour was maintained pretty much throughout the flight by the cabin crew - it made the trans-Atlantic tedium very bearable indeed!
