I REMEMBER THE NIGHT I was working as a flight attendant on the
red-eye to Manila. A water leak developed in the galley, which eventually
soaked the carpet throughout the aft cabin of our 747. A very sleepy
woman who had become aware of the dampness tugged at my skirt as I
passed by. "Has it been raining?" she asked me. Keeping a straight face, I
replied, "Yes, but we put the top up." With a sigh of relief, she went back
to sleep.

IT WAS STORMY as I taxied my 727 out of the gate at New York's La
Guardia Airport one night. Air traffic was backed up everywhere. The
controller in the tower was frenzied as the ground-control frequency
became jammed with pilots calling at the same time. Then there was a
brief pause in transmission, which allowed a lone, plaintive voice to come
over the radio. In a slow drawl, he said, "Wilbur, this is Orville. Meet me
down at the bicycle shop. I've got a great idea."

A PASSENGER walked up to my airline-reservation desk and said, "I
know it's almost time for my flight to leave for Las Vegas, but I want to
cancel my reservation." "Is there something wrong with our service?" I
asked. "Oh, no," he assured me. "It's only that I put twenty-five cents in
the pay phone just now and lost it and with luck like that I'm certainly not
going to Las Vegas today!"

SOON AFTER my son finished pilot training with a major airline, he flew
home to celebrate. When I went to the airport to pick him up, I
congratulated him. "Let's go out to dinner tonight!" I said. "I'm afraid I
can't," he replied, feeling conspicuous in his uniform. "The airline lost my
luggage."

I ASKED A PASSENGER at my airline check-in counter if he wanted the
smoking or non-smoking section. In heavily accented English he replied
that he preferred a non-smoking window. I told him that the only window I
had left was on the wing. He looked at me with a horrified expression.
"No, no!" he exclaimed. "Inside the airplane inside the airplane."
