On a recent JFK-Heathrow flight, we were cruising along when suddenly, one of the engines started smoking. The pilot came on the intercom and announced "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to report that we've lost an engine, but don't worry, we'll still make it to London, however, we will be about 15 minutes late". A few minutes later, the other engine died, and the pilot came on and said "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to inform you that we've lost another engine. We're going to be about 30 minutes late getting into London" Naturally, another engine blew, and the pilot came on the intercom once again. "Ladies and gentlemen, we're down to one engine. We're going to be 2 hours late." A few minutes after that, the last engine gave out, and the captain came on the intercom. "Ladies and gentlemen, we've lost our last engine." Suddenly, an old man shouted out "Great! Now we'll be up here forever!!!"
