— The Sack Lunches
.
I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. ‘I’m glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will get a short nap,’ I thought.
.
Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a conversation.
.
‘Where are you headed?’ I asked the soldier seated nearest to me.
‘Petawawa. We’ll be there for two weeks for special training, and then we’re being deployed to Afghanistan
.
After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack lunches were available for five dollars. It would be several hours before we reached the east, and I quickly decided a lunch would help pass the time…
.
As I reached for my wallet, I overheard a soldier ask his buddy if he planned to buy lunch. ’No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack lunch. Probably wouldn’t be worth five bucks. I’ll wait till we get to base.’
.
His friend agreed.
.
I looked around at the other soldiers. None were buying lunch. I walked to the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant a fifty dollar bill. ’Take a lunch to all those soldiers.’ She grabbed my arms and squeezed tightly.

Plato said that work should be play. Some airline employees are
taking him seriously. After landing, one flight attendant announced,
“Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed
giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.”
(I like the honest approach.)
..
As a plane touched down and was slowing to a stop in Washington, a
lone voice came over the loudspeaker: “Whoa, big fella. WHOA!” (Who
says you can’t have fun with your job?)
..
One pilot made this weather announcement: “Weather at our
destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but they’ll try
to have them fixed before we arrive.”
..
“As you exit the plane,” a flight attendant said, “please make sure
to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be
distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave
children or spouses.”
..
And passengers reported that they heard this from the crew just as

A beautiful blonde lady stepped onto a plane going to L.A. and sat down in first class. The flight attendant proceeded to go around the airplane checking the ticket stubs of each passenger to make sure they were all in the right seats.
