Why You Should Be Careful Making Jokes On An Airplane

Be Careful Making Jokes On An Airplane
This happened recently on a Frontier flight out of Charlotte, North Carolina. According to The Express, a passenger was arrested after she allegedly refused to comply with exit row instructions which forced the entire flight to deboard. You never want to be responsible for the whole flight having to deboard. I’ve told some pretty bad jokes in my day, but I’ve never had one so bad it forced everyone off the plane!
Look, one of the first rules of comedy is to know your audience. Additionally, another rule of comedy is it’s all about timing. Unfortunately, she went 0 for 2 on this one. Clearly, nobody told her these rules of comedy before she started unleashing the jokes. I can’t believe people still think they can joke like this on an airplane! I feel like it should be engraved into our brains by now that we can’t do that. There’s a time and a place for everything and a plane is not the time for comedy.
Thankfully, people on the flight were quick with their phones and captured the incident on video. That video is now taking off on the world wide web. It’s just the latest trending video to happen onboard of a plane. There have been doors flying off, a woman seeing things, and dog poop. Now, we have the comedy show.
Per The Express, The woman in question denied saying she would not comply with exit row rules and claimed other passengers were witnesses that she agreed to follow them. It doesn’t seem like the passengers were on her side, though. They were trying to get her booted off the plane, too. According to The Express, The Federal Aviation Administration requires passengers in exit row seats to understand oral crew commands related to emergency evacuation, with flight attendants often required to received a verbal “yes” from them.
