This is a true story ...

One time I was taking a flight from Peoria to St. Louis where I intended to catch a flight to California. When we landed in St. Louis, the stewardess on the flight made the standard PA system broadcast ... "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain seated until the plane comes to a complete stop at the terminal." Needless-to-say, a lot of passengers were already retrieving their things from the overhead storage areas.

That came to an abrupt ending when the stewardess added, "Anyone not seated will be shot."

The whole plane became totally silent, people sat down, turned around and saw this cute young lady grinning from ear-to-ear.

End of the story, not a person got back up until the plane came to a complete stop at the terminal.

Today, she'd be in trouble. But then, it was cute (and effective).
