Found these in AudioKarma: Too funny not to pass along. West Jet is an Airline with head office situated in Calgary, Alberta. West Jet airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight 'safety lecture' and announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported: On a West Jet 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 West Jet 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 West Jet Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at the Vancouver Airport, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: 'Whoa, big fella. WHOA!' After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Ontario, a flight attendant on a West Jet flight announced, 'Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted. From a West Jet Airlines employee: 'Welcome aboard West Jet Flight 245 to Calgary. 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 traveling 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 West Jet 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: 'West Jet 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 West Jet Airlines just after a very hard landing in Edmonton: 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 attendant's fault, it was the asphalt. Overheard on a West Jet Airlines flight into Regina, on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Regina. 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 gotten 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 Halifax, 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 West Jet Airways. Heard on a West Jet Airline flight. '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. A plane was taking off from the Winnipeg Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, 'Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, welcome to Flight Number 293, nonstop from Winnipeg to Montreal. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax... OH, MY GOD! Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!' A passenger in Coach yelled, 'That's nothing. You should see the back of mine! You gotta love the Canadian sense of humour.

Hello to you all! I was referred here by Paul. After listening to his Carver setup of amps, pre-amps, processors, and most significantly his Amazing Silver's, I was so bowled over with the real life listening experience, I had to purchase a set of pristine ALS Platinum MkIV's in oak that were available for local pickup. The good man that Paul is, he went with me, in HIS Suburban, to inspect, pickup, load, and then setup at my house. What a DUDE! I spent four hours adjusting positioning of speakers and listening couch. When I finally did the right toe-in just right, the stage snapped into focus but also expanded in width and depth. I've been enjoying listening sessions, morning and night, but also notice the sound is great throughout the whole house. It's natural, smooth and un-strained. Piano and strings are sooo lifelike! I'll post a couple pics soon, but wanted to make and introductions and also send thanks to Paul Regards and Happy Listening, Albikes

Had never heard of a 'harp guitar' until I saw this guys covers of Ozzy, Metallica, Beatles, Kansas..... Here's the top 10 most viewed on his channel.

Another great intro and soundtrack..... Shirley Bassey

I'm a bit surprised that no one has mentioned The Sound of Music or Fiddler on the Roof.

And, "The Last Waltz" by The Band.

What about Movies made by bands? Kiss meets the Phantom - Kiss Brimstone and Treacle - The Police Quadrophenia - The Who Tommy - The Who The Wall - Pink Floyd Walkhard the Dewey Cox Story - John C. Riley All 5 Beatles movies. Should this be a new thread? lol

It's a toss up between O' Brother where art thou, and Last of the Mohicans.

One of the best intros of all time (In my book anyway) The Doors - The End

By far my favorite of all time!

Happy to deliver @Rockster2U. The cool thing about this thread is to see/read the connection that the soundtrack delivers. Adding a bottle of wine, or … whatever. High Fidelity seems to resonate John Cusack crushes for women..., early Jack Black for comedians..., then there's Iben Hjejle…, some of you know what I mean.

My daughter bought me this in vinyl. Very good. Almost Famous soundtrack is probably my favorite.

One of wifey's favorites. This album, a bottle of wine and some sweet talkin' have resulted in some enjoyable evenings. The trick is to find the precarious balance of decibels and dosage of wine.

On a side note - AJ, you sometimes amaze me. I haven’t heard the 13th Floor Elevators in 50+ years - they were way ahead of the curve back in the day.

High Fidelity is another one...

I know a couple jokes but they're not Canadian. There were these two ladies at the hospital that had just given birth to their babies. The one lady was rich and the other lady was lower class. The Rich lady said to the other lady " My husband gave me a brand new car for my first child." The poor lady said "that's nice." Rich lady said "my husband gave me a diamond ring for my second child." The other lady said "that's nice." The rich lady asked the poor lady " what did your husband give you for your first child? She answered, he sent me to finishing school to learn how to say that's nice, instead of F....U There was a business owner who owned a carpentry shop and he was looking to hire a new master Carpenter. After checking for months he could not find anyone. One of his friends suggested that he interview this one guy that was a master Carpenter. When the two met he found out the guy was blind. He asked the guy how could you work being blind how can you tell the different types of woods? The blind guy said "put a piece of wood up to my nose and I'll tell you exactly what it is." the business owner got a piece of oak and put it up to the guy's nose and he said that's an easy one that's freshly cut oak. The business owner really didn't want to hire the blind guy so he got another piece of wood and held it up to the guy's nose. Hmmm, the blindguy said that's aged cherrywood. At this point, the business owner was frantic. He said to one of his workers, "get Agnes the old secretary. He told Agnes to be quiet and go along with the gig.. He placed Agnes forward facing the blind guy and had her put her lower body to the blind Man's nose. The blind guy says" that's a tough one ..turn that piece of wood around. He had Agnes turn around and the blind guy said well this is a really tough one but I think I got it... He said, I'm pretty sure that's a shithouse door on a tuna boat...

I saw that ad, and sighed because they were too far away. Good on you for giving them a proper home!

Thanks Brian! It's rare that I've been in such good company.
