Someone told me that on an airplane flight recently. They laughed at me and said my joke BOMBED!…
and they were promptly escorted off that plane.
I guess my joke got the last laugh
I was on a plane once and it felt like we hit turbulence. The pilot got on the intercom and said "Sorry about the rough ride folks, but we lost one of our engines. Don't worry, we still have 3 good ones, but we will be delayed to Chicago by 1/2 hour." The guy sitting next to me start complaining about missing a meeting and he better be compensated by the airline.
Minutes later more turbulence. Another announcement, exactly the same as the first, except "we still have 2 good engines, but we will be delayed by 1 1/2 hrs." I thought the guy next to me was going to have a brain aneurism, he was so mad. Cussing, waving his arms, etc.
10 minutes later...more turbulence and a similar announcement as the first 2,except "We have lost our 3rd engine, but don't worry, the 4th one is pretty new and we should be fine, but our flight will be delayed 3 hrs."
That was enough for the guy sitting next to me, he stood up and yelled "FUUUCK! If that last engine goes out, we are going to be up here all day!!"
