Best quotes I have ever heard:
Best quotes I have ever heard:
If you can't handle my worst, you don't deserve my BEST!
You shouldn't have to cry over someone who isn't crying over you.

I am blessed, and nothing can reverse that!
I am blessed, and nothing can reverse that!
Learn to speak well.
I can do what I did because I am blessed.
And let there be light, where darkness is.
See our brothers and sisters without blemishes. No one is perfect.
However, he sees us as perfect.
It pleases him to bless.
Always be happy to give.

Welcome Aboard [Just for Laughs)
(Archives from The Economist, September 9, 2006)
In-flight announcements are not entirely truthful. What might an honest one sound like?
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We are delighted to welcome you aboard Veritas Airways, the airline that tells it like it is. Please ensure that your seat belt is fastened, your seat-back is upright and your table is stowed, as your safety is our first priority. Actually, that isnt quite true. If it were, our seats would be rear facing, like those in military air craft, as they are safer in an emergency landing. But then nobody would buy our tickets and we would go bust.
The flight attendants are now indicating the emergency exits. This is where you should pay attention. Knowing where the exits are makes a huge difference to your chances of survival if we have to evacuate the aircraft. Also, please keep your seat belt fastened when seated. This is to protect you from clear-air turbulence, an extremely nasty form of disturbance that can cause severe injury. Imagine food trolleys jumping into the air and bashing into overhead lockers, and you will have some idea of how unpleasant it can be.
A life-jacket can be found under your seat. In the event of landing on water, an unprecedented miracle will have occurred, because in aviation history the number of wide-bodied aircraft that have successfully done this is zero. The aircraft has inflatable slides. Please remove high-heeled shoes before using the slides. We could add that space helmets and anti-gravity belts should also be removed, since to mention using the slides as rafts is entering the realm of science fiction.
Please switch off mobile phones, as they interfere with the navigation systems. Well, that's what you've always been told. The real reason is because they interfere with mobile networks on the ground, but somehow that doesnt sound so good. On channel 11 you will find a video showing some exercises you can do to reduce risk of deep-vein thrombosis. We are aware that this video is tedious. It is not meant to be fun, but to limit our liability in the event of lawsuits.
Once we are at crusing altitude you will be offered a light meal. This is partly to keep you in your seats where you cannot harm yourselves or anyone else. Please consume alcohol in moderation so that you become mildly sedated. Or we can always turn the air-quality low down a notch or two to ensure that you are sufficiently drowsy. So please sit back, relax and enjoy the flight. Cabin crew, remember to close the doors. Sorry, I mean: 'Doors to automatic and cross-check.' Thank you for flying Veritas."
