Do you know what aircraft operator you're flying with?

Lets start with one that is older than civil aviation itself :
SABENA : Such a Bad Experience, Never Again.

Less common ones :
TAP : Take Another Plane!
PIA : Please Inform Allah.
AI : Allah Informed!
LUFTHANSA : Let Us Fuck The Hostesses As No Stewards are Available.

If you know any other ones, please share them.

*WHY* do people insist on doing this? Especially on rec.travel.air,
which is supposed to be a group for discussion on traveling by air,
*NOT* a group to show how unclever a poster can be? These "acronyms"
almost always show the airlines in a bad light, and I imagine that
most of the people who post their "acronyms" haven't even flown on
most of the airlines in which they are commenting! Really, these
"acronyms" are *NOT* witty.

an englishman, an irishman and a scotsman in a train compartment.
when the train stops, the englishman leaves with dignity without
looking behind. the irishman look back to check if he forgot
something behind. the scotsman looks back to check if someone else
forgot something.


an englishman, an irishman and a scotsman on a deserted island.
on the first day the irishman writes poems and makes whiskey. the second

Wee Kee Ng, please add me to your list of those who *can't take a joke*
as you so uneloquently phrase it. Perhaps in your tiny world there is
no racism, no ethnocentric hate, and no discrimination of people
because of sexual orientation. In the real world, however, these are
problems many of us face daily, and having slurs about Allah (for which
the author has already apologized, so what's *your* problem anyway) and
queers (the Quantas acronyms) on this newsgroup is distressing. Have
some respect for the things that others hold essential. By the way,
I *can* take a joke. The acronym game has grown dull.

No, but then neither could the Ayatollah....

Why are muslims so damn touchy? Most Christians and Jews don't get all
righteous when you make jokes about God, or Jesus, or Moses...
(OK, there have been a few notable exceptions here on rec.humor)
MOST of them don't even get touchy when you insult the above mentioned.
NONE of them have issued a public death threat to millions of people telling
them to kill the author of something that may or may not have been insulting.

OBJ:
Jesus walks in to a motel, slaps four nails on the counter, and says
"Can you put me up for the night?"

OBJ:
Jesus saves, Moses invests.

In this age, people joke about anything - religionS, politicians and else.
This is a free world.
And the most important of all, this is a news net of jokes.
If you can't take jokes, get out of this space.

now, a little one which may sound a little bit traduced from french

Levy, Moise and Simon have their shop in the same street:
Levy at number 25, Moise at number 27 and Simon at number 29
Levy writes on his front "-50%"
Simon sees that and writes "-75%"
Moise comes and writes ... "Shop's entry"

if someone wants to post this again in real english, it would be fine

And now for something slightly different.

INTERFLUG = I've Never Tried Eating Raw Fish - Let Us Go.

(Interflug was the East German airline. Disclaimer: I never used it, so
I don't know if they served fish, raw or otherwise.)

To this I've just to add:

INTERFLUG == INTER PUKE

All those who knew this one: I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist...

I read this in rec.travel.air, which is NOT a news net of jokes. I can take
jokes (though not racist ones even if 'funny'), but I dont specially weant to
see them in rec.travel.air, so how about editing the Newsgroups line, folks?
