On reaching his plane seat a man is surprised to see a parrot strapped in next to him. He asks the stewardess for coffee whereupon the parrot squawks, ?“And get me a whiskey you cow.?” The stewardess, flustered, brings back a whiskey for the parrot and forgets the coffee.
When this omission is pointed out to her, the parrot drains its glass and bawls, ?“And get me another whiskey, you tart.?” Quite upset,the girl comes back shaking with another whiskey but still no coffee.
Unaccustomed to such slackness, the man tries the parrot's approach. ?“I've asked you twice for coffee. Go and get it now, or I'll give you a slap.?”
Next moment, both he and the parrot have been wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by two burly stewards. Plunging downwards the parrot turns to him and says, ?“For someone who can't fly, you're a quite a brave person.?”

Two planes arrived at flight control at exactly the same time. Flight control said, ?“Delta, Continental, you both arrived at the same time. Who wants to go first??”
The Continental pilot immediately heard, ?“Go ahead, Delta, I'll wait!?”

While cruising at 40,000 feet, the airplane shuddered and Mr. Benson looked out the window. ?“Good lord!?” he screamed, ?“One of the engines just blew up!?”
Other passengers left their seats and came running over. Suddenly the aircraft was rocked by a second blast as yet another engine exploded on the other side. The passengers were in a panic now, and even the stewardesses couldn't maintain order.
Just then, standing tall and smiling confidently, the pilot strode from the cockpit and assured everyone that there was nothing to worry about. His words and his demeanor made most of the passengers feel better, and they sat down as the pilot calmly walked to the door of the aircraft. There, he grabbed several packages from under the seats and began handing them to the flight attendants. Each crew member attatched the package to their backs.
?“Say,?” spoke up an alert passenger, ?“Aren't those parachutes??”
The pilot said they were. The passenger went on, ?“But I thought you said there was nothing to worry about??”
?“There isn't,?” replied the pilot as a third engine exploded. ?“We're going to get help.?”
