humour
I really need some help,especially from those in Australia,who have a terrific sense of humour.
I am near to completing a book,but have been told that three chapters are fairly boring.so I need some help.
I need to spice up the life of the cabin crew concerned.
Has anyone been involved in an inflight incident which was funny?
Maybe the tannoy.I flew with an African airline,where I was told by the purser that in the event of a full emergency,to take the Brace position.This would be to put our heads between our legs and kiss our xxxxx goodbye.
It got everyone to laugh,but it got their attention and we all sat rather humbly listening through the full safety drill.
Any help would be would be great.
Many thanks

Not to put the dampeners on your book, as no doubt you have spent many an hour on it. BUT. I have to say "not another cabin crew book full of humous stories"
To be honest the same stories pass by with the odd embelishment here and there as the years pass by. I bet you haven`t one new story I haven`t heard before give or take an embelishment.

Hi
well - when I had just started flying (a long time ago) I had the pleasure of flying with a lovely gentleman (cant remember his name) who was a senior purser and totally camp and not afraid to show it (brave in the late '70's). We had had a long day doing BHX-JER on a six sector day and were on the last two sectors out to JER again on an old Viscount. As we trundled through the skies the passengers were getting agitated that we were taking too long selling duty free and that we would have to 'close shop' before we got around to everyone (which we did in those days as we didn't have the luxury of computers on board and 'swiping' equipment, so everything was by hand and relatively slow). I remember that the purser was getting quite rattled by a lady who kept shouting through the cabin that she needed cigarettes. My colleague finally turned round and calmly said "Madam, I was born with testicles not tentacles and if you would like to wait your turn I would be happy to oblige you by selling you some cigarettes!" . I swallowed my gafawff and the woman just shut up along with the rest of the cabin until we touched the tarmac in JER.
We wouldn't get away with saying stuff like that nowadays - or would we................
PS Good Luck with your book!!!!
