To combat the recession, a budget airline has introduced a wave of new passenger charges:
Attendant: “Welcome aboard Cheapo Airlines, sir. May I see your ticket?”
Passenger: “Sure.”
Attendant: “You’re in seat 61C. That’ll be $5 please.”
Passenger: “What for?”
Attendant: “For telling you where to sit.”
Passenger: “But I already knew where to sit.”
Attendant: “Nevertheless we are now charging a seat-locater fee of $5. It’s the airline’s new policy.”
Passenger: “That’s the craziest thing I ever heard. I won’t pay it.”
Attendant: “Sir, do you want a seat on this flight, or not?”
Passenger: “Okay, I’ll pay. But the airline is going to hear about this!”
Attendant: “Thank you. My goodness, your carry-on bag looks heavy. Would you like me to stow it in the overhead compartment for you?”
Passenger: “Yes, thank you.”
Attendant: “No problem. That will be $10, sir.”
Passenger: “What?”
Attendant: “The airline now charges a $10 carry-on assistance fee.”
Passenger: “This is extortion. I won’t stand for it!”
