Sent from my friends out in Cyprus:
You lot weren’t on this plane, where you ???
Shortly after take-off on an evening Air Lingus flight from Dublin to Boston the lead flight attendant made the following painful announcement in her lovely Irish brogue:
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so sorry but it appears that there has been a terrible mix-up by our catering service.
I don't know how this has happened, but we have 103 passengers on board but unfortunately we received only 40 dinner meals.
I truly apologise for this mistake and inconvenience.
When the muttering of the passengers had died down she continued, "Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal so that someone else can eat will receive free unlimited drinks for the duration of our five hour flight.
Her next announcement came about two hours later: "If anyone is hungry we still have 40 dinners available."
