The Flight Attendant Safety Dance

There’s just something about StumbleUpon that gets me — I say, gimme the goods and it fetches something I’d really like.

I especially like this comic about the flight attendant’s dance.

 

It reminded me of a classic music box, you know, the one with the steel ballerinas? After quite a few flights, you’d begin to notice, that, if the flight attendant gave a really enthusiastic safety demo, you start feeling even more confident about the flight, compared to, say, a jaded attendant going through the motions.

There’s also the flight safety card — it’s a bit amusing when you create your own interpretation, especially ones without text, but neither are there for amusement.

“I am the reason.” I’m the reason that the flight attendant’s doing that. I’m the reason why the safety card has neat little drawings in ‘em.

That’s why I’m not all up for bomb jokes and making fun of the cards — this is a living centered on the comfort and safety of others, and it’s not worth it to annoy the service which, decidedly is for the passengers in the first place.

I salute the comfort and safety (save for the entertainment factor) that both provide. Not only do they make me feel safer about the trip-on-a-metal-giant, they also provide comfort in the mind of passengers everywhere, and who knows how many times a week they’d have to do the dance? Sit back, relax, and pay attention to the nice lady.
