This is a minor brain burp, but it just struck me as funny for some reason 
So, I'm a on a plane yesterday, and they're doing their little spiel before take-off, you know the usual "This is how a seat belt works..." and "If we're all about to plunge into the ocean, you're seat cushion can be used to keep your corpse afloat"
Well, I was sitting in an an exit road (The seats next to the emergency exit.) So the flight attendant has to ask:
FA = Flight Attendant
Me =
BA = Badass (you'll see why I call him that
)
FA (to me): "Are you willing and able to take the responsibility for sitting next the emergency exit should it be needed?"
*Thinking to my self: Pull handle, knock door off hinges... I think I can handle that.*
Me: "Sure am."
Then she turns to the other side of the plane and goes to ask the other passenger (Badass), the same question.
FA: "Are you willing and able to..."
At this point she stops mid sentence, looks up and down at the guy seated there and realizes he's wearing full army fatigues, with his name, rank, all the standard military patches, everything.
FA: "... *chuckle* "I think you can handle it..."
BA: "Yeah, I'm good"
I just thought it humorous, that she's probably so used to asking that question and going through the whole take-off routine (she's been a flight attendant, for over 30 years!), that it actually took her brain a second to register who it was she was asking
EDIT: ARGH! I put this in the wrong section... was meant to be in Brain Burps (obviously)... SORRY!
