An engineer could not find a job, so he opens a clinic, and puts a sign outside that says
“Get treatment for $50: if not cured, get back $100.”
A doctor thinks this is a good opportunity to show up the engineer and earn a quick $100. He visits the clinic.
Doctor: “I have lost my sense of taste.”
Engineer: “Nurse, bring the medicine from box no 22 and place 3 drops in the patient's mouth.”
Patient (doctor): Spits out the medicine and says, "This is not medicine, its petrol".
Engineer: “Congrats... You have your taste back ... that will be $50”
Doctor gets annoyed, and returns after several days to recover his money.
Doctor: “I have lost my memory and can't remember a thing.”
Engineer: “Nurse, bring medicine from box no 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth.”
Doctor: "This medicine is for the sense of taste," protests the doctor.
Engineer: “Congrats. Your memory is back... that will be $50.”
Doctor leaves, but after several days angrily returns for one last try.
Doctor: “My eyesight has become weak.”
Engineer: “Well I don't have any medicine for that. Take this $100.”
Doctor: “But this is $50 note.”
Engineer: “Congratulations, your eyesight is better... that will be $50”

Oh, that Henny Youngman!
Which reminds me of a couple of his one liners that somewhat apply to this profession:

Getting on a plane, I told the ticket lady, "Send one of my bags to New York, send one to Los Angeles, and send one to Miami." She said, "We can't do that!" I told her, "You did it last week!"

There was a girl knocking on my hotel room door all night! Finally, I let her out.

My hotel room is so small, the mice are hunchbacked.

I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport.

The food on the plane was fit for a king. "Here, King!"

If my mother knew I did this for a living, she'd kill me. She thinks I'm selling dope.


For the doctor side: My doctor grabbed me by the wallet and said, "Cough!"

Yeah, no doubt about that. I've done volunteer work in the ED and worked there during my EMT training. Pros and cons.

My bad. I'll turn up my emoji sense.

What proof do you have to substantiate your claim that:

1. The PA was done with malice; and
2. The individual was "posing" as a DL crewmember.

All the Delta pilots that would make a real PA like that would do it on the flight attendants first class interphone. That's my proof that it was a spoof.

I think he even mentioned number of carrier landings, but I was slow to get the guard volume up. It was pretty funny, but it was so over the top it had to be a troll.
