Sekali-sekali, saya mengirim
posting
pakai bahasa Enggres biar dikira pinter. Bukan apa-apa, bukan karena
nggaya, sok, atau snob, tapi karena cerita aslinya yang beredar dari
milis ke milis memang pakai bahasa negeri Pangeran Charles. Ceritanya
lucu, kok. Mohon maap ya, kalau ada yang kurang berkenan ....
Ini anekdot mengambil
setting pada sebuah penerbangan maskapai
low cost carrier
yang bikin pecas ndahe itu: Singa Udara [dulu disebut Lion Air].
Lelucon ini diceritakan oleh seorang penumpang yang dibuat jengkel
bukan main oleh layanan maskapai bergambar kepala singa merah itu. Ia
lalu iseng-iseng mengirimkannya ke pelbagai milis. Sampeyan mungkin
sudah baca. Buat yang belum pernah membaca, moga-moga sampeyan terhibur
dan memaafkan kalau ada salah ketik atau ejaan. Namanya juga bukan
bahasa saya sendiri ...
"Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is your Captain
speaking. Welcoming both seated and standing passengers on board of
Lion Air.
We apologize for the four-day delay in taking off, it was due to
bad weather and some overtime I had to put in at the bakery.
This is Flight 717 to Yogyakarta. Landing there is not guaranteed,
but we will end up somewhere in Central Java. And, if luck is in our favor, we may even be landing on your village! Who knows?
Lion Air has an excellent safety-record. In fact, our safety
standards are so high, that even terrorists are afraid to fly with us!Why? Well, you know....
It is with pleasure; I announce that, starting this year, over 30 percent of our passengers have reached their destination.
If our engines are too noisy for you, on passenger request, we can arrange to turn them off!
For our not-so-religious passengers, we are the only airline who can help you find out if there really is a God!
We regret to inform you, that today's in-flight movie will
not be shown as we forgot to record it from the television.
However, for our movie buffs, we will be flying right next to Garuda
Indonesia, where their movie will be visible from the right side of the
cabin window.
There is no smoking allowed in this airplane. Any smoke you see in
the cabin is only the early warning system on the engines telling us to slow down!
In order to catch important landmarks, we try to fly as close as
possible for the best view. If however, we go a little too close, do
let us know. Our enthusiastic co-pilot sometimes flies right
through the landmark!
Kindly be seated, keep your seat in an upright position for
take-off and fasten your seat-belt. For those of you who can't find a
seat-belt, kindly fasten your own belt to the arm of your seat. And,
for those of you who can't find a seat, do not hesitate to get in touch
with a stewardess who will explain how to fasten yourself to your
suitcase.
Thank you for flying with us and enjoy your flight."
