How fights are started.....oops....a little early..

One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot
as a Christmas gift.
The next year, he didn't buy her a gift.
When she asked him why, he replied, "Well, you still haven't used the
gift I bought you last year!"
And that's how the fight started.....
************************************************************************

My wife walked into the den & asked "Whats on the tv?"
I replied "Dust".
And that's how the fight started.....
************************************************************************

A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.
She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel
horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a
compliment.'
The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'
And that's how the fight started.....
************************************************************************

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming
anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200

in about 3 seconds.
I bought her a scale.
And that's how the fight started.....
************************************************************************

I asked my wife, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary?'
It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation.
'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!' she said.
So I suggested, 'How about the kitchen?'
And that's when the fight started....
************************************************************************

My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were

in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to fool around?'
'No,' she answered.
I then said, 'Is that your final answer?'
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying 'Yes.'
So I said, 'Then I'd like to phone a friend.'
And that's when the fight started....


************************************************************************

I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light for $14.95.

Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95. I told her the beer

would make her look better at night than the cold cream.
And that's when the fight started..... 
************************************************************************

I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my
order first.
'I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please.'
He said, 'Aren't you worried about the mad cow?'
'Nah, she can order for herself.'
And that's when the fight started.....

cheers

=============================================

Tower: "Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!"

Delta 351: "Give us another hint! We have digital watches!"

=============================================


"TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees."

"Centre, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"

"Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?"

==============================================


From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm f...ing bored!"

Ground Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!"

Unknown aircraft: "I said I was f... ing bored, not f... ing stupid!"

==============================================


O'Hare Approach Control to a 747: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker,
one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound."

United 239: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this... I've got the little
fokker in sight."

==============================================


A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While attempting to
locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked, "What was your last known position?"

Student: "When I was number one for takeoff."

==============================================


A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll out after
touching down. San Jose Tower Noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the
end of the runway, if you are able. If you are not able, take the Guadalupe exit
off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport."

===============================================


Taxiing down the tarmac, a DC-10 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,exactly, was the problem?" "The pilot was bothered by
a noise he heard in the engine," explained the flight attendant. "It took
us a while to find a new pilot."

===============================================


A Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following:

Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"

Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."

Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why
must I speak English?"

Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you
lost the bloody war."

===============================================


One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of the
active runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around,
and taxied back past the Cherokee.

Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, "What a cute
little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?"

The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger:
"I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts
for another one."

===============================================


The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot.
They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there
without any assistance from
them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following
exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747,
call sign Speedbird 206.

Speedbird 206: " Frankfurt , Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."

Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."

The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.

Ground: "Speedbird, do you  not know where you are going?"

Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."

Ground (with quite arrogant impatience):

"Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"

Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- and I didn't land."



=================================================

While taxiing at London's Gatwick Airport, the crew of a US Air flight departing for
Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. An irate
female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming: "US Air 2771,
where the hell are you going?! ! I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway!
You turned right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell
the difference between C and D, but get it right!"

Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically: "God!
Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right
there and don't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions
in about half an hour and I want you to
go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that,
US Air 2771?"

"Yes, ma'am," the humbled crew responded.

Naturally the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent after the
verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground
controller in her current state of mind. Tension in every cockpit out around
Gatwick was definitely running high.

Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone asking:
"Wasn't I married to you once?"

They're still as funny as when I posted them back in Nov 2007 only the ones I saw were supposed to be from Qantas. There was a couple of extra ones which I've left in the quote below.  :tu:

[quote="Alec"]
It takes a uni degree to fly a plane but only an apprenticeship to fix one: a reassurance for those of us who fly routinely in their jobs.

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.
The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour.
Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' Pilots (marked with a P) and the Solutions recorded (marked with an S) by Maintenance Engineers.

By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel . Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget

Gordon Bennett, what's your problem now?  ::)

Blimey O'Reilly I was just adding the couple of extra ones for anyone who hadn't seen the original post and pointing out the different, claimed source.

Settle petals.
I know its an old post. But i figured in light of the recent Hudson river ditching it would be prudent to post some airline humour.

I'm fine with it as I was just replying to Bruce's sarcastic post with another joke.

I also added the extra bits from my old post for the same reasons you're quoting which is why I left in the statement about Qantas being the only major airline that has never had an accident.

I'd also just stumbled across this commercial ( for the new Qantas Airbus 380s after I saw a report that their first one landed in America a few days ago.

Accidents aren't a joke but if I was involved in one I think I'd rather be in one of these aeroplanes.

Always check your child's homework..

Dear  Mrs. Jones,
I  wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I  ever been, an exotic dancer. 
I work at  Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it  was last week before the blizzard hit.  I  told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and  that several people were fighting over who would  get it. Her picture doesn't show me  dancing around a pole.  It's supposed to  depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at  Home Depot.
From now on I will remember to  check her homework more thoroughly before she  turns it in.
Sincerely,
Mrs.  Smith

Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole.

The ball hit one of the men. He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony.

The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize. 'Please allow me to help. I'm a Physical Therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you'd allow me,' she told him. 'Oh, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine in a few minutes,' the man replied.

He was in obvious agony, lying in the foetal position, still clasping his hands together at his groin. At her insistence, however, he finally allowed her to help.

She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside. She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, 'How does that feel'?

He replied: 'It feels great, but I still think my thumb's broken.'

Subject - New parenting skills... better than spanking

Most of the American populace thinks it improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of 'those moments.'

One that I found effective is for me to simply take the child for a car ride and talk.

Some say it's the vibration from the car, others say it's the time away from any distractions such as TV, Video Games, Computer, IPod, etc.

Either way, my kids usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride tog ether.  Eye to eye contact helps a lot too.

I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique.





This works with grandchildren, nieces, and nephews as well.
