Fear of Flying

This is your captain speaking.  Thanks for flying with us today.  I just thought I’d start out by dispelling any doubts or fears.  Yes, this is the same airline that had its plane hijacked last week – you know, the one that went missing over the Amazon?  But don’t worry; all of our flight attendants are now trained in karate.  Nope, nothing to worry about here.   I mean, maybe the category-3 storm sweeping into our path.  Strong winds, lighting, the whole nine.  Looks pretty deadly.  But no problemo (hey Bill, why’s that panel flashing?).  Anyway, sit back and enjoy your flight!
