…and flushing him out the back D.B. Cooper style would probably mean consquences later on the ground.
Best told on a non-stop flight from San Fran to Hiroshima.
It was an international flight; the chances of landing on, say, a runner in the middle of the ocean is infinitesimally small.
“It’s going to look worse than it is,” she said over the PA system. “I’ve done this for 36 years. I think the man that has said this is an idiot, and I’ll say that straight out. If you hear me that’s fine.”
WOW!!!
That flight attendant deserves the Nobel Prize for “having the balls to tell the truth and NOT being afraid of the bosses in the corporate office”.
(on edit: I just realized that the flight attendant is female.
But she still deserves praise for having balls. 
)
The same thing if you said something like that. You are restating the obvious. Are you trying to make this into a pissing contest?? I don’t care who on the flight thought it was/wasn’t funny, it wasn’t. It wouldn’t be funny in any contingency. Not because of cause or effect, but because of weak subject matter, delivery, and construction.
Just because you are unclear as to what is funny/not funny, doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be funny. It just wasn’t, in this case. Same for the entire flight delay-if it’s funny, it’s funny. The result/cost of the funniness is irrelevant.
At any rate, the joke wasn’t funny, irrespective of who found it so or no. I didn’t claim that mine was funny, it was only an example of something/anything funnier than the joke from the OP.
I laughed as I shook my head. I’m not sure if I’m laughing at the joke or at the audacity of saying it though.
Then I really laughed when I read Amateur Barbarian’s version.
Save me a seat in the hand basket please.
This is the kind of public offense that prompts calls to bring back bull whipping
I read this and less then a minute later I run across this Ramirez cartoon. Obviously didn’t put enough effort into it to get it to make a lick of sense, but that’s good enough, right?
Well, I think airlines and their passengers need to calm the hell down. Stay at home and finger your worry beads.
“That man has to be gotten to a hospital!”
“The hospital?!? What is it?”
“It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now.”
This story reminds me of the time I went through expedited airport security. A TSA worker swabbed my hands to test for residue from explosives and I told her it was going to come back positive for chocolate. As soon as I said it I was terrified for about 0.3 seconds, but she did nothing because it would’ve been ridiculous. I’m not sure if I blame the passenger or the airline here because the details are contradictory. If he just sneezed and made a joke, they overreacted. If he was sneezing and coughing throughout the flight, then said he’d been to Africa and made a joke about Ebola, he’s a jackass.
We all really need to find our happy place before boarding any airplane. Acting out on any level whatsoever just isn’t worth it.
Just announce that if anyone makes trouble, the people sitting in front of them have permission to recline their seats. 
If a guy with ebola ejaculates, does blood come out?
