Flight announcers have the very boring job of having to make the same statements at the beginning of every flight. It's dull to announce, and it's dull to listen to.
This morning, on my flight from Oakland to Orange County, the announcer managed to infuse a little humor into his speech. He's not going to be hailed for his comedic prowess or anything, but I let out a chuckle or two. I should perhaps make a disclaimer that I am occasionally very easily amused.
Some highlights:
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you could pretend to listen..."
"If you sit on the right, you'll see Giants Stadium. If you sit on the left, you'll see Dodger Stadium, the sight of which makes me sick."
"Smoking is not permitted, not even in the restroom. If you're smoking, you better be on fire."
Again, this isn't comedic gold by any stretch of the imagination, but I listened a little more attentively than I would have if he was just droning on about safety. Also, he's a baseball fan! And a seemingly passionate one at that.
Just one more way that Southwest continues to be awesome.
