And He Can Cook

We’re all gonna die!!!!

So, I was on a plane a few days ago and had a fun/terrifying experience. Fun/terrifying because in the following situation you can choose to blubber in a corner or laugh your ass off. We’d just boarded, people are still jossling around and getting there bags put away, then the pilot comes over the P.A. and says this. “So, we’re having a little issue. The airplane is a lot like your laptop. Occasionally you’ll get an error message. We’ve got one on the main board here so we’re going to just shut down the airplane for about 5 minutes and then power it back up to see if it goes away.” The next thing he said made me laugh like a lunatic. “I’ve never seen one like this and I have no idea what it means, but we’ll see if we can fix it.” Lots of things run thru your head when you hear something like that. Maybe they need my help. Maybe they should just hit ctrl,alt,delete, then hit task manager and end task… What the F$#@ is going on up there??? We should get off the plane. F&*% it! So, just pick one and go with it.
After banging on the dash board a few times and cursing vehemently, the “pilot” was able to get things straightened out and the plane powered up just in time for us to sit on the runway for an hour and contemplate why we chose to fly with (sounds like Flelta) in the first place.
