The Problem With Budget Airlines

01 They don't sell tickets, they sell chances.
02 All the insurance machines in the terminals are sold out.
03 Before the flight, the passengers get together and elect a pilot.
04 You cannot board the plane unless you have the exact change.
05 Before you take off the stewardess tells you to fasten your Velcro.
06 The Captain asks all the passengers to chip in a little for gas.
07 When they pull the steps away the plane starts rocking.
08 The Captain yells at the ground crew to get the cows off the runway.
09 You ask the Captain how often their planes crash and he replies, "Just once."
10 No movie. Don't need one. Your life keeps flashing before your eyes.
11 You see a man with a gun. He's demanding to be let off the plane.
12 All the planes have both a bathroom and a chapel.
