Air Travel Humor

I often peruse the "Woman's World" magazine. It's easy to read and has lots of good information from recipes to diets to beauty tips to humor. Actually, it's a great magazine to take along on a trip..for all those times you are stuck waiting in the airport! And, I always recycle my magazines by leaving them in a sitting area for someone else to enjoy. Anyway, in the March 15, 2010 edition I read a humorous true story sent into the "Was My Face Red!" section of the magazine. I thought it would be fitting to tell a little air travel humor on my blog:

O.Y. of Princeton, NJ wrote: "On a flight home from visiting family in California, I was thankful to get a window seat. About halfway into the flight, however, I needed to use the restroom. The man next to me had been sleeping soundly for the better part of two hours, and rather than wake him, I decided to try to step over him. I gently placed my left leg over his legs and began swinging my right leg over when the plane hit some turbulence. I lost my balance and fell into his lap! He woke up to a strange woman straddling him just as the pilot made an announcement to 'buckle up'. I apologized and removed myself as quickly as I could, but boy, was my face red!

I also surfed the web and found lots of sites for air travel jokes. One site: http://www.unique-southamerica-travel-experience.com/travel-jokes.html was quite interesting. I've copied and pasted one item I found particularly funny from that sight.

Murphy's Travel Laws:

1. No flight ever leaves on time unless you are running late and need the delay to make the flight.
2. If you are running late for a flight, it will depart from the farthest gate within the terminal.
3. If you arrive very early for a flight, it inevitably will be delayed.
4. Flights never leave from Gate #1 at any terminal in the world.
5. If you must work on your flight, you will experience turbulence as soon as you touch pen to paper.
6. If you are assigned a middle seat, you can determine who has the seats on the aisle and the window while you are still in the boarding area. Just look for the two largest passengers.
7. Only passengers seated in window seats ever have to get up to go to the lavatory. (See the "Was My Face Red" joke above.)
8. The crying baby on board your flight is always seated next to you.
9. The best-looking man\woman on your flight is never seated next to you.
10. The less carry-on luggage space available on an aircraft, the more carry-on luggage passengers will bring aboard.

Don't you love it? :)
