(The Sage News Network has obtained a transcript of crew banter and cockpit announcements from Skeddo Flight 666 that crash landed safely in downtown Detroit.)

(SNN) - The following is the transcript: (.)- denotes intercom traffic from the Captian

  • Captain Icarus and the cabin staff are delighted and baffled you chose to fly with Skeddo Airlines today.
  • We congratulate all passengers who made it through the security gates with their dignity intact.
  • The flight crew is happy to welcome our frequent flier.
  • Captain Icarus requests that passengers please turn off all communication devices. Especially children.
  • Toilet paper is available for sale in the aircraft lavatories. If you don’t have a credit card, paper money works just fine.
  • We’ll be flying at 30,000 feet or 10,000 meters, whichever comes first. Please close all windows when we reach our cruising altitude.
  • If your carry-on luggage was checked at the gate, it’s probably still there.
  • After a very salty snack, the flight crew will be in the restrooms taking applications to join our mile high club.
  • Due to an unidentified piece of luggage, Air Traffic Control has ordered us to open the cargo bay over Cleveland.
  • As soon as the plane stops shaking, the flight attendants will be in the aisles selling items left under the seats by previous passengers.
  • Normally our instruments work fine in the clouds, but it’s pretty dark out there. Anyone got an iPhone with GPS they trust?
  • Passengers are urged to consider the possibility that the turbulence you feel might come from within.
  • If you purchased a seat belt, please fasten it now.
  • The sound you just heard was an engine exploding. Don’t worry, we have three more. Wait … make that two.
  • Management has asked us to turn off the remaining engines in order to economize on fuel expenses.
  • The Captain reminds passengers that God hates last minute religious conversions.
  • Please ignore the flames on the starboard wing.
  • Air traffic control suggests that the shortest distance between two points is a line straight down.
  • Please don’t think of our rapid loss of altitude as a descent. Descent sounds too final.
  • As we begin our crash landing in downtown Detroit, passengers are encouraged to stop screaming.
  • The captain has illuminated the no joking sign.
