Colored indicator lights on ceiling on plane
You know those colored indicator lights on the ceiling of the planes? There are red, blue, and orange.
Blue is when someone pushes the stewardess call button.
Red is when the pilot calls on the telephone.
What is orange? I've never seen it illuminated in all my years of travel.

If you press the orange then you get showered in Orange flavour Tango.......
(in the UK Tango is an orange flavoured fizzy drink - the ads for it turned people orange and said they had been tango'd)
sorry - not got a clue what that one is for

one if definitely for smoke in the bathroom, ala someone lightin' up a smoke in there. I heard it go off last year on a 320. The sound was deeper, if not more ominous then the other "dings" you hear.

I heard somewhere that if the pink one flashed 6 times with 6 bongs it was code for an emergency? Not sure how true, but for a while I was certainly counting bongs!
