Words you don't want to hear on a plane

"Attention passengers, this is your captain speaking. We don't have auxiliary power today...." (WHAT?!) "So the engines won't turn over.." (Hmmm that seems like a problem) "We have an air cart to get the engines started.." (so, you're just gonna blow some air into the engine to get it going? good. good. yeah. that makes me feel good.) "But the cart we have doesn't have enough air in it..." (AWESOME!) "They're bringing another cart, it'll be about 10 minutes..." (So, not only am i gonna DIE, but I'll be 10 minutes late getting to LA)

Seriously... a simple "they're topping off the fuel," "We're waiting for a couple more pieces of luggage," or "we're missing some paper work, its on the way" would have been fine.

Moral of the story: When the truth paints a picture of eminent DEATH..... LIE!!!
