An Opportunity for Wit
This was related to me several years ago, and the person who told it to me swears it is true. The location is Heathrow airport in England. A ground level fog had descended over the area, causing delays for take-offs. At the time, there was an American airline whose company slogan was "The world's most experienced airline". So, there are a lot of aircraft backed up along the taxi-way waiting for their turn to get on the runway. Due to the fog, a plane belonging to the "World's most experienced airline" had veered off the taxi-way and got its nosewheel stuck in the mud, making it difficult, but not impossible, for the other aircraft to get by. As an Air Canada DC-8 manoevered past the stuck plane, the captain announced over the cabin intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you look out the right side of our plane, you will see the world's most experienced airline......having another experience!".
