Flying Laughter Spot : “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier”

A plane took off from Heathrow Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.

Welcome to Flight Number 293 from Heathrow to Chicago. The weather ahead is good and therefore we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax – OH MY GOD!”

Silence followed and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier, but while I was talking, the flight-attendant brought me a cup of hot coffee and spilled it in my lap. You should see the front of my trousers!”

A passenger in Economy Class stood up and beckoned to the person sitting across the aisle. “That’s nothing,” said the passenger. “Have a look at the back of mine!”
