An Open Letter To Flight Attendants

I think a new amendment should be added to the flight attendants' constitution.... If you are the attendant designated to do the pre-flight safety announcement - YOU MUST BE FUNNY.

We all know the spiel and it's boring.

We all need a good laugh right before take-off. If we aren't the person that's white-knuckling the armrest then that person is sitting right next to us. This person needs the benefit of laughter more than anyone else on the plane.

And for those of us that are experienced traveleres, we appreciate a good laugh. We've had to suffer through the same old crap flight after flight. Put some life into those old tired lines.

And how could you not benefit from laughter? Your audience is captive!! Take full advantage of the fact that we can't escape. Yeah, sure - some of us are listening to music instead of you. But YOU KNOW that when we see others laughing, we're going to pull those headphones off to find out what's gong on. And, I promise, we will laugh out loud.

Here's an example (just listen to the audio):

We want it bad.

Real bad. (Disregard the horrible grammar....)
