Pilot at back chatting
Second in commmand decides he will whip out to the restroom whiel plane on autopilot. Steps out and hooks the cockpit door open with bungee cord or elastic.
He is in restroom and plane hits small pocket of turbulence. Door slams shut locking both pilots out......
Pause - switch to shot of terrified face of SIC jumping out of restroom and PIC charging down the aisle with the fir axe and breakign downt he door to get back into cockpit....
:-)
Not verified - but it did come from a pilot and even if not true I thoguth pretty funny....

Now that is funny!!
