An airliner was taking off from Kennedy 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 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles.
The weather ahead is good and we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax and
. . . OH MY GOODNESS!". . . .
Silence followed. Then after a few seconds,
the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am so sorry if I frightened you earlier, but while I was talking to you, the
flight-attendant brought me a cup of hot coffee and spilled it in my
lap. He chuckled and said, "You should see the front of my pants!"
A passenger in coach yelled loudly, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"
