Trouble At 40,000 Feet

[marval]

While cruising at 40,000 feet, the airplane shuddered, and a passenger looked out the window.

"Good Lord!" he screamed, "One of the engines just blew up!"

Other passengers left their seats and came running over; suddenly the aircraft was rocked by a second blast as yet another engine exploded on the other side.

he passengers were in a panic now, and even the stewardesses couldn't maintain order.

Just then, standing tall and smiling confidently, the pilot strode from the cockpit and assured everyone that there was nothing to worry about. His words and his demeanor seemed made most of the passengers feel better, and they sat down as the pilot calmly walked to the door of the aircraft.

There, he grabbed several packages from under the seats and began handing them to the flight attendants.



Each crew member attached the package to their backs.

"Say," spoke up an alert passenger, "Aren't those parachutes?"

The pilot confirmed that they were. The passenger went on, "But I thought you said there was nothing to worry about?"

"There isn't," replied the pilot as a third engine exploded. "We're going to get help!"

Reminds me of this joke
An Aer Lingus 747 is over the Atlantic when there is an announcement from the cock pit. ''One engine has failed so we will be an hour late arriving in Dublin''
A little while later there is another announcement '' A second engine has failed so we will be 2 hours late''
This is followed by a 3rd announcement '' Engine no 3 has failed we will now be 4 hours late''
At this Mick turns to his mate Paddy and says '' I hope the 4th engine doesn't fail or we will be up here all bloody night!''
