Two blind pilots are both wearing dark glasses: one is using a guide dog, and the other is tapping his way
along the aisle with a cane.
Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines
start up. The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is just a
little practical joke. None is forthcoming.
The plane moves faster and faster down the runway and the people sitting in the window seats realize they're
headed straight for the water at the edge of the airport. As it begins to look as though the plane will
plow into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin. At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air.
The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly, and soon all retreat into their magazines, secure in the
knowledge that the plane is in good hands.
In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says, "ya know, Bob, one of these days,
they're gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die."

Hell, if I bothered joining every pool where there are people who have taken shots at me I wouldn't have time to do anything else!

Newfie, still waiting to hear if you are the real thing? 'Cause I have a bottle of screech here and I'm thinking it's as good as any occasion to use it.
Straight:
Drink a shot. Kiss a codfish.
Drink a shot. Sing:
I'se the b'y that builds the boat,
And I'se the b'y that sails her;
I'se the b'y that catches the fish,
And takes 'em home to Lizer.
Repeat, until the bottle is empty.
or in:
Dark and Stormy
2 oz Newfoundland Screech
4 oz Ginger Beer
Mix in a glass over cracked ice. Garnish with a lime.

Ok, here's another new one. Can someone explain to me how this works:
MXP-ORD on AZ today, no movies in Y (but there were movies in F). The FA explained that catering screwed up and didn't deliver any videos to MXP, so every AZ flight out today (a bunch of 767's and 777's) left without video entertainment.
So, several questions:
How could that happen mid month? (yes, I know we're talking Italy and AZ, so anything is possible) Couldn't they just replay the videos they used inbound? How come F had video? (do they use a different system, maybe a hard drive based IVOD instead of a DVD based system?)
And, of course, the FT whiner question- how much compensation do they ow us? 
(per the TOC, no post about anything being wrong is allowed without asking that question)
