On a Kulula flight, (there is no assigned seating, you just sit whereyou want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, "People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!"
On another flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and...

Here are a few lessons one eventually learns from life:
* Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
* Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
* Never lick a steak knife.
* Never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
* People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
* There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
* There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

Cyano-acrylate glues (Super glues) were invented by accident. The researcher was trying to make optical coating materials, and would test their properties by putting them between two prisms and shining light through them. When he tried the cyano-acrylate, he couldn’t get the prisms apart.

Ivory bar soap floating was a mistake. They had been over-mixing the soap formula causing excess air bubbles that made it float. Customers wrote and told how much they loved that it floated, and it has floated ever since.
