Jack The Tension Breaker!
Recently a friend of mine, Jack, a cool headed character under pressure was flying out of the Portland Oregon airport on a late afternoon Alaskan flight to Los Angeles. If you know the Portland airport you will know it sits alongside the great Columbia River and is one of the most beautiful airports in the country. The flight was taxiing down the runway and was slowly lifting its wings into the sky when an out of the ordinary event took place. Suddenly and totally unexpectedly one of the engines died and the entire plane momentarily lost power.
For sure this incident did not go unnoticed, but due to the obvious troubles a stern concern swept through the plane. The plane did manage to continue to rise into the sky but everyone knew something was wrong. The pilots immediately confirmed this when they announced that the plane was now in an emergency mode and they themselves did not know what had happened. There were two new flight attendance aboard and it must have been their first actual in flight incident of this type for they both were scared stiff and somewhat panicked. But it took one older woman, apparently experienced in flight troubles, to comfort them both with words of encouragement while the plane limped through the sky.
Then the airline stewardesses were informed by the captain to prepare the passengers for a possible emergency landing due to one engine being out and depending on what instructions the tower would give. A few anxious moments passed when the voice of the captain came back on and announced that the plane had somehow hit a large “flock of geese!” A dead body count of 40 geese were found on the runway and this did not count those geese shredded going through the turbines, thus the engine failure. There was no real need for panic and it would not be necessary for the plane to fly out to sea and drop its fuel load but they would immediately return to the airport and land on the one remaining engine. The airport was then shut down and all emergency vehicles were brought out and made ready to deal with the pending emergency. The tension among the passengers and the flight crew was very pressing during this time. This is where it takes a certain person to come up with those tension breakers and this is the exact kind of person my friend Jack is…
He turned to the one shook up stewardess and said, “Hey there young lady, go up front and tell the pilot that here in Oregon there is a bag limit of only two geese and he is in violation of state hunting regulations, and on top of this, it is against the law to use large airplanes to hunt geese, especially out of season!” Immediately the stewardesses face broke out into a great smile and she began laughing and she suggested that he go forward and tell the captain himself of the state regulations. At the hearing of this humorous statement, the passengers also broke into laughter and the tension of the spell of the unfortunate incident was broken! The plane landed safely and most passengers were transferred onto the next flight and on their way they went.
Moral: Tension is like steam under pressure and sometimes it needs to be released so things do not build up to great and this is where some wise humor might help the situation out. Therefore, if you can’t think of anything to say under tension, best have one of TickTalk’s Humor Bundles with you at all times!
