Oh, you mean like this Johns Hopkins University study:

You know, as a professional shrink with an academic post, I'm thinking
this could be an interesting research project -- humor and older
pilots. Let's see if I can remember it when I'm back in my office
discussing thesis topics.

Be sure to send some of the grant money my way. I can come up with all sorts of bad jokes that old folks will not laugh
at...

THE FLIGHT

It was mealtime during a flight on El-Al. "Would you like dinner?"
the flight attendant asked Moishe, seated in front.
''What are my choices?" Moishe asked
"Yes or no," she replied.

Well, I thought is was funny.

Well, that's because you are young. :-)

Interesting conclusion considering the context of the joke. I would
have thought that an older American hearing the joke would be more apt
to "get it" in light of the history of American airline deregulation.
(the implication being that an older American would be more apt to
have first hand knowledge of the experiences both pre and post
deregulation). Since I am too young, the joke is funny to me, but may
be even more funny if I had the experience of having pre-deregulation
service.

As an aside, it seems that it may be even more context sensitive by
the choice of El Al as the airline and (perhaps) references to
"lessons learned" when deregulating airlines.

LOL!
Sounds like the same choices I had at home as a kid.....but if my choice was
"no"
I still had to sit at the table until dinner was over. :-)

Actually, it's part 121, but it's still funny.

I have come to regret having started this thread.

Never the less, what could be a more appropiate way to end it with a
lawyer/dumb blond/ airplane joke?


Seat belts fastened?


Subject: The Lawyer and the Blonde


The Lawyer and the Blonde

A lawyer and a blonde woman are sitting next to each other
on a long
flight. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun
game. The blonde
is
tired and just wants to take a nap, so she politely
declines and tries
to
catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists, that the game is a lot of fun. "I ask
you a
question,
and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5; you
ask me one,
and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."

This catches the blonde's attention; and, to keep him
quiet, she
agrees to play the game. The lawyer asks the first
question. "What's the
distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't
say a word,
reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and
hands it to
the
lawyer.

Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer, "What
goes up a hill
with three legs, and comes down with four?"

The lawyer uses his laptop, searches all references. He
uses the Air
phone;
he searches the Net and even the Library of Congress. He
sends e-mails
to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail.

After one hour of searching he finally gives up. He wakes
up the
blonde and hands her $500. The blonde takes the $500 and
goes back to
sleep.

The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes
her up and
asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and
comes down with
four?"

The blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5 and
goes back to
sleep.

Funny! But I didn't see any dumb blonde in the joke. :-)

So a priest, a rabbi, and a blonde walk into a bar and the bartender says
"What is this, a joke?"

Meanwhile, across town, another priest, another rabbi, and an imam walk
into a bar and the imam asks "What am I doing in a bar joke?"

Meanwhile, back at the ranch....

.....the lawyer was also blonde.

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?

A: To prove to the raccoon it could be done.

It's funniest if you've actually flown El Al.


Of course, these days, most airlines are following that standard. In fact,
most airlines have stopped asking the question altogether...
