And here's one of my own: as we began to taxi down the runway on a flight to San Francisco a few years ago, a flight attendant made the standard announcements and then cheerily added "We have good news and bad news for y'all. The good news is that y'all are gonna lose some weight on this flight! The bad news is, we forgot to load your little Happy Meals onto the airplane in time, so we're just going to forget about dinner and serve you a tiny bag of pretzels instead. Thank you for flying American Airlines!"
