August 26, 2008: Canadian Airlines Safety Card

newtimer · 08-26-2008, 11:38 AM

Ever look closely at the safety/evacuation cards in the airplane? Do Canadian flights really have a lot of cowboys, ballerinas, construction workers, jockeys, and Willy Wonka as passengers?

Oh that is too funny. I lol'd!

It reminded me of this website, which I point to whenever possible, where the guy makes comic strips out of that old school office clipart.

Reminds me of Fight Club. When they replace all the safety cards of the calm people on the plane during an emergency with people with terrified looks on their faces. Good stuff.

Reminds me of this.

Shawnee & Jinx, Them are some funny links. I wish I'd thought of that stuff!

Shawnee123 · 08-27-2008, 08:20 AM

Guffaw!

If you've become a radiation mutant with a deformed hand, remember to close the window. No one wants to see that shit.

That site is hilarious, and soon to be on the way to friends and family!

I relax my "don't touch anything pawed at by a thousand strangers" rule to look at those airline cards. They are irresistible for the seriousness of their purpose and the silly, cartoonish way they execute it. Even the airplane plays along - it's always completely intake and looks airworthy as it floats gently on the water or rests on its wheels on the grass.

Thank you for flying Village People Airlines. Please return the flight attendants to their original, upright positions while the pilot gets his cockpit ready for takeoff.

The Cellar only lets me upload 4 photos, so I couldn't include the one of the construction worker sitting in the life raft with the cowboy. I forgot to edit the description after I found out that I couldn't put that picture in.

You are so funny, Shel.

I sent the website Shawnee mentioned an e-mail, lamenting the repetitive dull and boring obscenities. Some great material and refresting ideas, but the dialogue lacks creativity, imagination, finesse, and a vocabulary.

Shawnee123 · 08-27-2008, 02:12 PM

Oh the horrors. I bet they're so ashamed.

Glad you're out there keeping it safe for the rest of us. By which I mean STFU.

Now, if you want some refresting [sic] obscenities, check out my new favorite web comic. Slightly NSFW?

I bet he's the fucking arms akimbo guy.

As long as we're making fun of people you might as well add me to the list.
