Friday Funnies

I’m Fine!

A farmer neighbor named Clyde had a car accident. In court, the trucking company’s fancy lawyer was questioning Clyde.

“Didn’t you say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine?’” asked the lawyer.

Clyde responded, “Well, I’ll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule, Bessie…

“I didn’t ask for any details,” the lawyer interrupted. “Just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine?’”

Clyde said, “Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road…”

The lawyer interrupted again and said, “Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the highway patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.”

By this time, the judge was fairly interested in Clyde’s answer and said to the lawyer, “I’d like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule, Bessie.”

Clyde thanked the judge and proceeded.

“Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn’t want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans.

“Shortly after the accident, a highway patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning, so he went over to her. After he looked at her and saw her fatal condition, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes.

“Then the patrolman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me and said, ‘How are you feeling?”

“Now what the hell would you say?”

A Sassy Airline

Kulula is a low-cost South African airline that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Attendants make an effort to make the in-flight announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples…

“Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section on this airplane is on the wing. If you can light ‘em, you can smoke ‘em.”

On a Kulula flight (there is no assigned seating, you just sit where you 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 to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants.”

On landing, the stewardess said, “Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you’re going to leave anything, please make sure it’s something we’d like to have.”

“There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane.”

“Thank you for flying Kulula. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.”

After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in the Karoo, a flight attendant on a flight announced, “Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted.”

From a Kulula employee:

“Welcome aboard Kulula 271 to Port Elizabeth. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don’t know how to operate one, you probably shouldn’t be out in public unsupervised.”

“In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favourite.”

“Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we’ll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you or your money more than Kulula Airlines.”

“Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments.”

“As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses.”

And from the pilot during his welcome message:

“Kulula Airlines is pleased to announce that we have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!”

Heard on Kulula 255 just after a very hard landing in Cape Town: The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, “That was quite a bump and I know what y’all are thinking. I’m here to tell you it wasn’t the airline’s fault, it wasn’t the pilot’s fault, it wasn’t the flight attendants’ fault, it was the asphalt.”

Overheard on a Kulula flight into Cape Town on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the captain really had to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the flight attendant said, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Mother City. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the captain taxis what’s left of our airplane to the gate!”

Another flight attendant’s comment on a less-than-perfect landing: “We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal.”

An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a “Thanks for flying our airline.” He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had got off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, “Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?” “Why, no ma’am,” said the pilot. “What is it?” The little old lady said, “Did we land, or were we shot down?”

After a real crusher of a landing in Johannesburg, the attendant came on with, “Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we will open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.”

Part of a flight attendant’s arrival announcement:

“We’d like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you’ll think of Kulula Airways.”

How can I eye gouge someone wearing glasses?: Ask Coach David

In this video I answer the question on “What if the person that is attacking you is wearing glasses?” My basic answer is that is does not matter. When attacked you will attack back in a more vicious and aggressive manner. The glasses will fall away or your adrenaline will make your fingers go through the glasses or sunglasses. At the same time you will be exposing additional vital targets. Check out my new dvd set at HowToKillWithYourHands (dot) com. Coach David Alexander

Another B.E.T. DVD Set Testimonial!

“Boy you have narrowed it down to a “slam bam” (3 targets). I REALLY HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO USE THIS TARGET BASED SYSTEM, but if I do I will. It actually fits my style which has always been to move forward…. my instincts are good…  This Target Based Self Defense System is the ultimate human instinct, take out an opponent system. It knocks out all the cultural myths about self defense and gives one a simple attack plan when you are in a serious situation, so congratulations on this presentation. I’m still a little shaky about the knife and gun-but in a desperate situation I now know that these ‘tools’ are not the actual target, go for the target. 

 Hey, were is you facility located? I may want to come down there sometime and get a personal training by you or your staff on the Target Based System, just because. 

Thanks for the opportunity to view the disk.”  Pat O.

How to generate striking power: Ask Coach David

How to generate striking power: Ask Coach David. One of the ways to generate striking power is to get stronger by utilizing the big lifts such as squats, deadlifts, overhead presses and bench presses. When you get stronger, you can generate more force. Another way is to move your body weight, using a tool (elbow, knee, etc.) through a target of an attacker as shown in the video.

Had to show my 11 year old son that the old man still has some skills. Not bad for a 235 pound 44 year old.
