80 and Traveling

"80 and Traveling"

A woman in her 80s and traveling alone in
Italy, became ill and was advised to fly home.

Two hours after her plane took off from Rome,
one engine conked out and another caught fire;
so they had to turn back.

After they landed safely, the stewardess told
her that she was the calmest of all the
passengers during the crisis.

"Well, at my age," the old lady answered briskly.
"I'm living on borrowed time, and I'm traveling
on borrowed money. So I figured I didn't have
much to lose!"

"18 and Traveling"

One day, Josh decided to take a trip from
Montreal (where he lived) to that great city
of Boston.. He went to the airport to buy a
ticket and found out the cost was $200
one-way. Well Josh only had $100 on him.
But he saw a sign saying half-fare for
persons under 18. Well, now Josh had
just turned 18 three months ago so he
lied..a bit. And got a ticket for $100.

Well during they flight, he was making small
conversation with the passenger seated
next to him. And, in the course of their little
chat, he mentioned the 18th birthday party
his friends had for him.

A stewardess happened to over-hear that
part of the conversation and reported back
to the pilot. The pilot checked his passenger
list and noticed that Josh had only paid
half-fare.

A few minutes later, the stewardess asked
Josh if he had $50 with him. Josh, slightly
embarrassed, replied, "I only have $10,
enough for a bus and a coffee after we
arrive in Boston.. Why do you ask?"

Stewardess,"I wanted to know if you wanted
to buy this used parachute."

Josh, "Whatever for?"

Stewardess, "You only paid half-fare and
you're over 18. We are half-way on our flight
and you have to leave now."
