  ------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------



A friend of a guy in the Nutrition School at Tufts was one of the lucky
passengers onboard a Northwest Airlines flight to Boston during
hurricane "Bob".

The captain did his best to skirt the edge of the storm, but it was a
rough ride just the same - rough enough that the flight attendants were
ordered to strap themselves into their seats for about half an hour,
while many of the passengers put the little plastic-lined bags in their
seat pockets to good use. 

When the turbulence finally abated, the flight attendants unbuckled
themselves, and the captain's voice came on over the intercom:

"Well, folks, that was quite some ride, wasn't it? But we came through
it fine, just the way we always do, and I'm happy to report that it
looks like the remainder of our trip should be much calmer. On behalf of
myself and today's flight crew, I'd like to thank you very much for your
calmness and cooperation, and extend our best wishes for a pleasant stay
in Boston, or wherever your final destination may be."

<after a short pause and several clicks>

"Jesus Christ - whadda bitchin' ride.  Boy - I sure could use a cup of
good strong coffee and a blow job, right about now..."

As a stricken stewardess dashed up the aisle to the cabin to inform the
captain that his intercom was still on, one of the passengers called
after her, "DON'T FORGET THE COFFEE!"
