Funniest inflight announcements

I couldn't find an existing thread but I had to laugh at this one on yesterday's YUL-ORD Republic flight, from excellent FA Bonnie.
"...To enhance the appearance of your cabin crew, we are going to dim the cabin lights for taxi and take-off..."

Long ago when airlines were in tough financial shape:

We know you have a choice of bankrupt airlines, and we thank you for choosing ours.

We know that everyone of you knows how to fasten and unfasten a seat belt, but we still have to tell you that, to fasten, insert the metal fitting into the buckle, adjust to fit snugly with the loose end of the strap and simply lift the buckle release to unfasten.

On a flight from IAH-AMA: “In the extremely unlikely event that we have to make a water landing on this flight across West Texas...”

"In the event of cabin depressurization oxygen masks will fall from the ceiling above. If you find yourself in the washroom two oxygen masks will fall. Don't wonder why there are two oxygen masks, but put just one of them on"

After a VERY heavy landing.
”Welcome to Singapore where the local time is 7pm.
As the captain taxis what’s left of this aircraft to the terminal we request all passengers remain seated........”

1) Pilot, after rough landing: "As you can tell, we just hit town."

2) FA as taxiing to gate after landing: "Please keep your seat belt on while taxiing to the gate. We'd hate to have you arrive at the terminal before the rest of the plane."

On landing (JetBlue): "We are seeking volunteers to help clean the cabin after we reach the gate. If you would like to volunteer, please stand up before the airplane has come to a complete stop."
