Rapid Descent
A jumbo jet is making its final approach to Coolangatta Airport. The pilot comes on the intercom. 'This is your Captain. We're on our final descent into Coolangatta. I want to thank you for flying with us today and hope you enjoy your stay on the Gold Coast.
He forgets to switch off the intercom. Now the whole plane can hear his conversation from the cockpit. The co-pilot can be heard saying to the pilot, 'So, Skip, whatcha got planned while we're on the Gold Coast?' 'Well,' says the skipper, 'first I'm gonna check into the hotel, take a big crap...then I'm gonna take that new stewardess with the huge hooters out for dinner...I'm gonna wine and dine her, take her back to my room and give her a ride on the baloney pony all night long..' Aghast and amused, everyone on the plane hears this and immediately begins looking up and down the aisle, trying to figure out who this new stewardess is that the pilot's talking about. Meanwhile, the new stewardess is seated at the very back of the plane. She is so embarrassed that she starts running toward the cockpit to turn the intercom off. Halfway down the aisle, she trips over an old lady's bag and down she goes. The old lady leans over and says: 'No need to hurry, dear...He's gotta land the plane and take a shit first.'
