I was on a delayed flight and this attendant was a riot! The stream of jokes
he cracked had the passengers in stitches. Which was nice after a few hours
of waiting.
It started with an announcement by the gate that they had managed to scramble
a plane to replaced the one stuck in Chicago, which was expected to show up
soon. "The good news", he said, "was that I just got insurance from Geico!"
If they all played greetings like this guy did people would be a lot
friendlier in the sky.
