Rainey Day Airline
Published Jan 01, 1900
A flight attendant was on the red-eye to Manila when a water leak developed in the galley, which eventually soaked the carpet throughout the aft cabin of the 747.
A very sleepy woman who had become aware of the dampness tugged at my skirt as the attendant passed by. Has it been raining? she asked the flight attendant.
Keeping a straight face, she replied, Yes, but we put the top up.
With a sigh of relief, the woman went back to sleep.
