The Story of Budget Airline
Attendant: Have you fill up your disembarkation form, sir?
Passenger: No, where do I get one? Wait, how much is it?
Attendant : Just $10 sir.
Passenger : $10?! No way, I'll get one at the airport!
Attendant : Sorry sir, our management has a contract with the customs department that they will reject forms not bearing our special Parang and Lighter logo for passengers taking our flights.
Passenger : ... here's $10.
Attendant : Thank you sir. Oh, do you have a pen with metallic blue ink sir?
Passenger : No, why?
Attendant : As part of our special contract with the customs, forms must be filled up in metallic blue ink for this week.
Passenger : !!! and how much is the pen?
Attendant : Sorry sir, we only have one metallic blue pen left, so we cannot sell it. Rental of the pen is $10.
Passenger: Rent a pen?! That's ridiculous!
Attendant : Sir please calm down or I will have to call the marshal for $50...
Passenger: Alright alright, here's $10, now give me the bloody pen.
Attendant : Very sorry sir, because we only have one pen left and it is so important, it is chained to my wrist here, see?
Passenger: How am I supposed to use it like that?
Attendant: It's ok sir, I can fill up the form for you.
Passenger: ... you will fill up the form... I don't suppose it's free is it?
Attendant: How understanding of you sir, it will be $10 for filling form service.
Passenger: !!!!!!
Boarding the Plane
Attendant: Welcome aboard Ala Carte Air, Sir. May I see your ticket?
Passenger: Sure.
Attendant: You're in seat 12B. That will be $5, please!
Passenger: What for?
Attendant: For telling you where to sit.
Passenger: But I already knew where to sit.
Attendant: Nevertheless, we are now charging a seat-locator fee of $5. It's the airline's new policy.
Passenger: That's the craziest thing I ever heard. I won't pay it.
Attendant: Sir, do you want a seat on this flight, or not ?
Passenger: Yes, yes. All right, I'll pay. But the airline is going to hear about this.
Attendant: Thank you. My goodness, your carry-on bag looks heavy. Would you like me to stow it in the overhead compartment for you ?
Passenger: That would be swell, thanks.
Attendant: No problem (grunts). Up we go, and done! that will be $10, please.
Passenger: What?
Attendant: The airline now charges a $10 carry-on assistance fee.
Passenger: This is extortion. I won't stand for it.
Attendant: Actually, you're right - you can't stand. You need to sit, and fasten your seat belt. We're about to push back from the gate. But first I need that $10.
Passenger: No way.
Attendant: Sir, if! you don 't comply, I will be forced to call the air marshal. And you really don't want me to do that.
Passenger: Why not ? Is he going to shoot me ?
Attendant: No, but there's a $50 air-marshal hailing fee.
Passenger: Oh, all right, here - take the $10. I can't believe this.
Attendant: Thank you for your cooperation, sir. Is there anything else I can do for you ?
Passenger: Yes. It's stuffy in here, and my overhead fan doesn't seem to work. Can you fix it ?
Attendant: Your overhead fan is not broken, sir. Just insert two quarters into the overhead coin slot for the first five minutes.
Passenger: The airline is charging me for cabin air ?
Attendant: Of course not, sir. Stagnant cabin air is provided free of charge. It's the circulating air that costs 50 cents.
Passenger: I don't have any quarters. Can you make change for a dollar ?
Attendant: Certainly, sir! Here you go!
Passenger: But you've given me only three quarters for mydollar.
Attendant: Yes, there's a change-making fee of 25 cents.
Passenger: For cryin' out loud. All I have left is a lousy quarter ? Whatever will I do with it ?
Attendant: Hang on to it. You'll need it later for the lavatory.
