Hurricane Bob Airplane Ride

A friend of a guy in the Nutrition School at Tufts was one of the lucky
passengers on board a Northwest
Airlines flight to Boston during our recent hurricane "Bob". 

The captain did his best to skirt the edge of the storm, but it was a
pretty rough ride just the same - rough
enough that the flight attendants were ordered to strap themselves into
their seats for about half an hour,
and many of the passengers were putting the little plastic-lined bags in
their seat pockets to good use. 

When the turbulence finally abated, the flight attendants unbuckled
themselves, and the captain's voice
came on over the intercom: 

"Well, folks, that was quite some ride, wasn't it? But we came through
it fine, just the way we always do,
and I'm happy to report that it looks like the remainder of our trip
should be much calmer. On behalf of
myself and today's flight crew, I'd like to thank you very much for your
calmness and cooperation, and
extend our best wishes for a pleasant stay in Boston." 

After a short pause and several clicks, we heard: "Jesus Christ...
Whatta bitchin' ride! Boy - I sure could
use a cup of good strong coffee and a blow job, right about now!" 

As a stricken stewardess dashed up the aisle to the cabin to inform the
captain that his intercom was still
on, one of the passengers called after her: 

"Don't forget the coffee!"
