Funny.

The other day I was in 1C and this couple entered the plane and the woman asked th FA - "can we take off in this wind?"

As an FYI the wind was not that bad AND coming straight out of the North and we will be taking off directly into it...

FA misses the question - so I say - "actually we will take off alot faster - the wind is good for lift...."
Then I add slightly quieter - "Oh and the wind will make us going down go faster too(which is obviously irrelevant)."

Anyway her man just started laughing and she gave me that - "oh great - thanks" look...

Yea it was kinda fun.
