Default Grumpy Attendants

Reminds me of an old joke:

A man is sitting at the airport next to a flight attendant, and he can't recall what airline the uniform is for. As he is the shy and retiring type, he's reluctant to strike up a conversation directly, so he tries out a few airline slogans to see if he gets a reaction.
First, "fly the friendly skies" - she glances at him but there is no response. So, not United Airlines. Then he tries "a great way to fly". Still nothing, so she's not a Singapore girl. Thinking maybe she works for Qantas, he tries "the spirit of Australia".
The woman glares at him, says "fuck off!" and stalks away. Ahhh, he thinks, at least that settles it - it's JetBlue!

Sorry.... I never said it was a good joke!
