Some of them totally think I'm still "BS" ing them.
I've had a Pax ask me that one time while I was deadheading ... I jokingly told them that this is one of those unfortunate days when they were going to need a volunteer to go out and spin the prop to help get it going. It was right after I said that when they started it up... At least the pax got a good laugh out of it since I said it in a very joking manner
