Scared to Fly

"Scared to Fly"

Taxiing down the tarmac, the jetliner abruptly
stopped, turned around and returned to the
gate. After an hour long wait, it finally took off.

A concerned passenger asked the flight
attendant, "What was the problem?"

"The pilot was bothered by a noise he
heard in the engine," he explained.

"Did you fix the noise?" asked the passenger.

"No. It just took us awhile to find a new pilot."

"Newsroom"

A newspaper editor announces that there's
enough money in the budget to install a
newsroom chandelier. The reporters
huddle and send a spokesman to say
they're against it.

"Against it? Why?" the editor asks.

"First," the reporter says, "no one on the
staff can spell 'chandelier' well enough
to put it on an order form. Second, I don't
believe that anybody here can play one if
we had it. And third, if you got that much
money, we think you should get a hanging
light instead, to brighten up the office!"
