Had one the other day on the way back from LHR.
There was a middle-aged english woman in a group of about 10 people. When I asked her if she would prefer the beef or the fish she asked
"What's the fish?"
I simply replied
" Why madam, - It's an animal that lives in the sea!"
That sent her bright red, and her whole group into fits of laughter for the remainder of the sector !
And .... for the more risqué .... a good friend of mine, who could as easily be a stand-up comic as a flight attendant, used to get away with all sorts of rude remarks to pax. He is one of those flight attendants who can smile his way out of any smart remark. The pax love him.
Once on clearing, about ten pax were trying to hand their trays to him at once he simply stopped and stated
" People, people ....... I am a flight attendant, not an octopuss ..... I have eight inches - not eight arms! "
The pax didnt get it - the crew were in fits for the rest of the trip!
