Announcement from the flight deck while taxiing for our departure
Pilot: Ladies and gentlemen seated on the left, this is what happens when you don’t pay full price for your flight. You have to pull your plane away from the gate.
The annual jet-pull charity fundraiser was underway in front of the hangar with teams of employees pulling the US Airways A319 with the Arizona Cardinals livery. The Cardinals mascot was there with them.

United flight from San Francisco, CA (SFO) to Redmond, OR
Passengers deplane onto the tarmac using a mobile ramp as there are no jetways at RDM.
Flight Attendant: Ladies and gentlemen, we need to wait a few minutes for the gate checked bags to arrive. Be careful as you deplane, it’s raining outside. With all this sugar on board, I’d hate to see you melt.

As the flight attendant was coming around with food and sandwiches to buy on board, the girl next to me had a question about the smoked turkey sandwich.
Passenger: Is the smoked turkey and brie sandwich skinny on the meat? As you can see I’m a voluptuous woman and I like big sandwiches!
Flight Attendant looking very confused handed the passenger the sandwich to exam herself. She ended up purchasing one!

Passenger 1: I really want to get some new boots for the winter.
Passenger 2: Me too, but I think I’m too short and stocky to wear them. I don’t want to end up looking like Puss In Boots!
