Funny Flight Attendants, Part 1

From time to time, I hear flight attendants say some truly memorable things. Here's an example. More to come.

A flight attendant (F/A) is in the cockpit while the Captain is taking a lavatory break. All is quiet. She looks out the windshield at some white clouds far below.

F/A: Wow, look at all the snow down there.
Me: Actually, those are clouds.
F/A: Clouds... down below us?
Me: Sure. We're flying way up above them.
F/A: I didn't think we did that except on really long flights.

I'll leave you to think about and ponder the implications of that conversation. All I know is it sure was funny.
