Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final approach the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant came on the PA and announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seatbelts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"

The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, give a smile, and a "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?" "Why no Ma'am," said the pilot, "What is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land or were we shot down?" Send this story to a friend 2 Four elderly ladies were driving in a car. One of the ladies in the car, Rosa, had a heavy hispanic accent. "As we drove thru the industrial area, Rosa said, 'Hey, that's where they make the Huge Measles!' We all looked at each other, confused, for a moment before we realized we were going past the 'Hughes Missle' plant." Send this story to a friend 3
