Fifteen minutes into the flight from Kansas City to Toronto, the captain
announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, one of our engines has failed. There is
nothing to worry about. Our flight will take an hour longer than scheduled, but
we still have three engines left.”
Thirty minutes later the captain announced, “One more engine has failed and the
flight will take an additional two hours. But don’t worry, we can fly just fine
on two engines.”
An hour later the captain announced, “One more engine has failed and our arrival
will be delayed another three hours. But don’t worry, we still have one engine
left.”
A young blonde passenger turned to the man in the next seat and remarked, “If we
lose one more engine, we’ll be up here all day!”
