Parody for the Season- Last halloween on a night flight I heard:....
While somewhere inflight over international air space...
...[In First Class section, a British guy Dan Thomas, is having an alcoholic drink and asks someone across the aisle]
Dan Thomas: "So who are you dressed up as?"
Khan Singh: [Thick Indian accent] "It is no costume, it is my religious attire, with a turban- I'm a Sikh"
British Dan: "Oh pardon me Mr. Sikh; be careful on your next flight you might have to re-wrap after they check your head for a concealed bomb," he answered. [Laughing]
[Turning to the approaching female flight attendant] "What about you dear girl, are you enjoying the party as a flight attendant to come get the guy I just mistook for a terrorist? Please pardon my sense of humor."
Attendant: [Leaning over to passenger Dan] "Would you please refrain from using words like that?"
