'In the unlikely event of a water landing...'

"Well what exactly IS a water landing?!?! Am I mistaken, or does this sound somewhat similiar to...CRASHING INTO the ocean to me!"

A couple of things I've said in the boarding announcement:
"Today's my first day on the job! Just kidding, it's the end of a four-day."
"In back with you is [flight attendant]. She's not the best we have, but she's all we could find."

Someone already posted it as what they'd say on the CVR if they knew the end was near.. but on the PA, it'd have a similar effect:

"Oh my God, did you see the tentacles on that thing?"

ATC may not want to hear upon check in, " Approach, Censsna 123, 2500 decending 3000."

I heard this from a Gen. Av. aircraft once. oops.

Guess that goes in the Cthulu files at the NTSB.

Got this from a captain a couple months ago. One day while you're in cruise look right at the guy next to you and say:

"Ya know, I really can't believe (insert Chief Pilot, Manager of Crew Scheduling, Director of Ops, any Management Pilot) makes us fly when we try to call in fatigue. I can barely see the instruments right now. I heard he deletes all the company records whenever someone tries to do it just so there's never any proof."

That way...just in case something does happen....

"Folks, good morning from the flight deck. Sorry for the delay. We'll be pushing back from the gate here in a few minutes. The mechanics just got done putting the wings back on the plane and had a few bolts left over. Once they're done we'll be under way. So just sit back and relax and thanks for flying with us today...."
