I'm still surprised at the giggles they receive. Either others are more tolerant of hearing the same thing repeatedly, or there really are still lots of 1/year fliers.

I can see why it might be a popular schtick on Southwest: it's supposed to be a fun airline, and many of their customers are infrequent fliers. (That's why I avoid Southwest.) But any FA who offers up the same, trite jokes, week-after-week on a Monday/Friday commuter flight - especially before 7:00AM...well, a painless death would be too good for him/her.

(The foregoing is intended to be 'lighter' than is comes off. If you like the jokes, enjoy them. Don't mind me.)
