Orange Alert. Have a nice trip.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain
speaking. Thank you for flying British Airways Flight 324
nonstop from London to New York. We are still awaiting our
security clearance from U.S. authorities, but it's safe to
assume that we'll land in New York sometime in the next
month or so.

If you look to your left, you will see a landmark that
attracts more than one million tourists every year. It's
called Heathrow Airport. Yes, we haven't yet taken off, as a
few astute passengers have noticed. Needless to say, we
would rather wait on the ground than in the air -- it's so
much easier to get a refill. You won't believe how fast we
go through our liquor cart.

The weather in New York is cold and breezy, with a 30
percent chance of snow. But why am I telling you that? By
the time we get there, it might be summer.

Of course, there is still a possibility the status of this
flight will be changed to "delayed indefinitely" from its
current status of "delayed definitely." If that happens, you
may be asked to disembark immediately. With that in mind, I
would advise you not to get too comfortable. You may recline
your seat and stretch your legs, but please don't change
into your pajamas.

If you are spotted wearing pajamas in the airport, the
United States may revoke your visa. In fact, if you are seen
wearing any type of clothing that does not conform to
standards established by the U.S. Attorney General, as
specified in Section IV, Paragraph 3 of the Anti-Terrorism
Law, you may be denied entry into the United States, unless,
of course, you can prove you're a member of the clergy.

Please do not take this personally. These measures have been
taken to protect you from people who look like you.

As you've probably heard, the U.S. government recently
raised the national threat level to orange, which means
there's a high risk of terrorists attacking people with
oranges. This may seem like a minor threat to you, but has
anyone ever squeezed an orange peel into your eye?

Plus, these new kind of Oranges are believed to be an alien
Product or invention stolen and modified so that they can spray automatically and that too by hovering in front of your face if used against you in any case. These oranges will continuously attack you till your retina is forced to send some sample of the peel acidic liquid to crucial parts of ones brain thereby promoting The Da Vinci Code in a subliminal advertising environment right inside your head.

As a result of this threat, airport security has been beefed
up, with apologies to our vegetarian passengers. Some of you
already know this, having spent the last two hours being
poked at. A few of you may have come under extra scrutiny,
especially if you have names such as Hussein, Ahmed and
Abdul. But most of you are white and your names, thankfully,
create no concern, as I just told the three men in first
class, an Englishman named Hunt, an American named Rob, and
a Dutchman named Harm.

Once we get to New York, you may be photographed and
fingerprinted, especially if you come from a non-European
country. Please do not take this personally. No one is
saying that you're a terrorist. They're just saying that you
look like one.

Before I finish, I'd like to draw your attention to the back
of the plane, where you'll see that we have an Indian man
flying with us today. Please do not panic. He has been
through a special 16-hour security check. We even tested the
oil in his hair. You'll be glad to know that it isn't
flammable. Among the items we've confiscated from this man
are two sharp pencils, one orange and a bottle of a caustic,
tongue-burning substance that he claims is lemon pickle. Also the Orange is not yet hovering and the remote control like thingy that was confisticated from him, which might have been used to activate the Orange, is a two way weapon intended to brainwash the user with satanic tunes playing.("Arrey that is my new Ipod that i getting from mine friend in China. It not  anything bad but only hindu bajans, yaar.")

Anyway, I just want you to know that this man will soon get
up to use the restroom, escorted by three armed flight
marshals. His activities in the restroom will be observed
with 206 cameras, one for every bone in his body. He has
been instructed to keep his hands raised above his head at
all times, so you might not want to use the
restroom after him.

Why am I telling you all of this? Well, I'm retiring in a
couple of months and I feel a strong urge to be completely
open with my passengers, an urge I've had ever since the
liquor cart went by.
