Archive for February, 2006

So there you are, just napping away. There’s a little turbulence; you grab your drink to keep it flying into the hair of the passenger in front of you. Suddenly, a flight attendant starts screaming “Oh my God! We’re going to CRASH!!!”

Great…

A stewardess caused panic by repeatedly screaming “We’re going to crash” when a packed plane hit turbulance.The Virgin flight hit bad weather three hours into a journey from Gatwick to Las Vegas. Some passengers were sick and others thrown from their seats as luggage, drinks and trays were tossed around. Those using the toilet at the time were stuck in the cubicle while others prayed and cried.

And their ordeal was intensified by the screaming stewardess.

Passenger Paul Gibson told The Daily Mirror: “She began screaming every time the plane shook.

“She shouted at the top of her voice, ‘We’re going to crash! We’re going to crash! We’re going to crash!”

The un-named woman – in her mid 20s – also lobbed sick bags across the cabin when poorly passengers screamed for more.

Crew members say it was the worst turbulance they had encountered. A spokesman for Virgin said no complaint had been received. Turbulance can be a very frightening ordeal,” he added.

From “correspondants in Sudan“:

A MAN caught “in flagrante delicto” with a goat has been forced to marry the animal.

According to the local newspaper, The Juba Post, the goat’s owner, a Mr Alifi, caught his neighbour, Mr Tombe, assaulting his goat and reported the man to the local council of elders for adjudication.

“It was around midnight when Tombe came to do his nonsense on my goat, and I was already in bed inside my house,” Mr Alifi said.

“Suddenly I heard the goat make a loud noise. Immediately I rushed outside to find Mr Tombe was naked and engaged in a relationship with my goat. ” When I asked him what are you doing there, he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up. They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife.”Mr Tombe agreed to pay a dowry of 150,000 Sudanese dinars ($125) for his new spouse.”We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together,” Mr Alifi told the Post.

In a shocking new study, it was discovered that women who shower, who dress nicely, who wash and perhaps even brush their hair, get better service when they shop.

This study, no doubt tax-payer funded, was necessary. Why, I have no clue.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A new Ohio State study finds women who get the most attention at clothing stores may the ones least in need of help.
