2 years ago, the SARS scare hit Toronto. I was living in Mobile, Alabama at the time, and flew to Miami. The airline made me change planes in Memphis, which was like, 180 degrees in the opposite direction.
I boarded the second plane in Memphis. An older gentleman sat down next to me. I exclaimed, "Man, I can't believe they made me change planes in Memphis, just to get to Miami!"
"Where did you start from?" he asked.
"Toronto," I said, at which point I began to cough uncontrollably...

I really wouldn't want to hear someone saying hi to an old friend at the other end of the airplane.
"Hi Jack!"
"Hi Jack!"
nonconformist said:I read, on wiki, a story about an Ameircan airplane refueling in Canada or something. they used metric, and imperial, so someone scewed up with the fuels.
This huge jumbo jet suddenly ran out of fuel, middair. Worse, the whole airplane electronics, from the cockpit, is run off the engines.

Ah yes, the infamous Goose Bay Glider (they landed in Goose Bay Newfoundland). Apparently they've tried to get other pilots to try the same scenario in a simulator and none have ever made it.
Of course, I have my own little airplane gag that's fun to play:
Pilot: Good afternoon this is Captain Phillips...
Me: Oh no! Not Captain Phillips! I can't believe they're still letting him fly!
that's great. Here's mine:

Ten other things you don't want to hear on an airplane:
1. Mid-way across the Ocean: This is your Captain speaking, I
just wanted to take this time to remind you that your seat
cushions can be used as floatation devices.
2. Our loss of altitude allows a unique close up perspective of
the local terrain. I assure you that it's all part of our
airlines new commitment to make your a flight a sight seeing
extravaganza.
3. Goose! Bogey at 2 o'clock....one on our tail! Eject! Eject!
4. Today we die for Allah!
5. This is your Captain speaking....these new planes are a lot
different than the ships I'm used to..so you'll have to give me
some leeway......
6. It would be a good idea if right now everyone closed their
shades and watched the inflight movie.
7. Drinks are on me...or I'll have what the Captain's having...
8. Hey capt'n, take another hit man...
9. Get the parachutes ready...
10. I'm sure everyones noticed the loss of an engine, however
the reduction in weight and drag will mean we'll be flying much
more efficiently now.
