Angry suit: When is this plane going to take off? I have a very important meeting to get to!

Southwest Flight over California
Overheard by: Armen
Stressed flight attendant, after four-hour delay: Folks, we’ve just been cleared for immediate departure. (passengers cheer) All passengers must be seated, with your seat belts fastened for takeoff. To do so, insert the metal–well, if you can’t figure it out for yourself, you’re in trouble. If at any point an oxygen mask appears in front of you, you’ll want to put that on. In the event of a water landing occurring between St. Louis and Denver, there will be a flotation device under your seat and about three feet of snow in hell. Emergency exits–front, over-wing and rear–wherever it says so. Don’t even think about smoking. See the safety information card for the rest. Here we go.
