il dolce Barcarolle

guys,

meet : Banta Singh. he is the Sardarji gentleman who makes my mommy laughs for hours!

here's one of his HIGHlarious tales. enjoy!

Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen.

This is your captain Banta Singh welcoming you to

Punjab Airways. We apologize for the four day delay in taking off,

owing to bad weather and some overtime I had put in at the bakery.

This is flight one two six flight to New Delhi.

Landing in Delhi is not guaranteed, but we will end up somewhere in

the East. And if luck is in our favor, we may even be landing on your

village!

Punjab Airways has an excellent record for safety.

In fact our safety standards are so high that even the terrorists are

afraid to fly with us! It is with pleasure I announce that starting

this year over 50% of our passengers have reached their destination.

(I presume that the other 50% were the terrorists themselves!!!)

For the ones that don't quiet make it, Punjab Airways staff have all

the requisite experience for consoling the next-of-kin. Our

Stewardesses Bubbly and Goldie will be happy to brief you on our

out-of-court settlement policies.

If our engines are too noisy for you, on passenger

request, we can arrange to turn them off ! To make your free fall to

earth pleasant and memorable, we serve complimentary tea and

biscuits !

For our religious passengers, we are the only airline who

can help you find out if there really is a God!

We regret to inform you, that today's in-flight

movie will not be shown as we forgot to record it from the

television.

But for our movie buff, we will be flying right next to Air India,

where their movie will be visible from the right side of the cabin

window.

There is no-smoking in this airplane. Any smoke you

see in the cabin is only the early warning system on the engines

telling us to slow down!

Life jacket are positioned under your seats and free

bathing costumes are made available to the aunties and swimming

shorts to the uncles, for emergency jumps!

In order to catch important landmarks, we try to fly

as close as possible for the best view. If, however, we go a little

too close do let us know. Our enthusiastic co-pilot sometimes flies

right through the landmark !

Kindly be seated, keep your seat in an upright

position for take off and fasten your belt. For those of you who

can't find a seat belt, kindly fasten your own belt to the arm of your

seat.

And for those of you who can't find a seat, do not hesitate to get in

touch with a flight attendant for your suitcase.

Sorry, but I won't be flying with you today because I have to attend

my nephew's wedding. But please make yourself at home and help yourself

to the cock pit.

Thank you for choosing Punjab Airways. HAVE A NICE JOURNEY.
