Flying is certainly the safest way to travel but it is also the most convenient. One of the reasons why people tend to want to fly more than any other way of traveling is because they can get to their destination within a matter of hours. Of course, there are sometimes going to be problems that occur when we fly and some inconveniences may take place. That sometimes happens when the flight runs out of food but they will sometimes make concessions for their passengers. That is what they did in the following joke but the passengers had other ideas.
Airborne less than 30 minutes on an outbound evening flight, the lead flight attendant on the cabin crew nervously made the following painful announcement:
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m so very sorry but it appears that there has been a terrible last minute error by our airport catering service. I don’t know how this has happened but we have 103 passengers on board and, unfortunately, only 40 dinner meals. I truly apologise for this mistake and inconvenience.”
When passenger muttering had died down, she continued, “Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal so that someone else can eat will receive free, unlimited drinks for the duration of our flight.”
Her next announcement came 90 minutes later. “If anyone would like to change their minds, we still have 40 dinners available.”
