*The best part of this was, he went careening past me, swore at me again, and then I saw him in the lobby of the agency I work at, waiting for an interview. He went pale when he saw me.

Remember when your parents gave you wholly unscientific superstitions and warnings, such as “Don’t swallow gum; it will stay in your stomach for seven years!” or, “If you make a face like that, it will stick that way forever.” Nikki and I were discussing those this afternoon when I had the idea to write up some new ones.

9. If you sneeze too hard, your chances of appearing on American Idol are zero.
10. Which superstitions and taboos would you like to teach your children?

Last night’s flight home was not uneventful. We were still in the air—nearly a half hour late—when the pilot said, “I’m sure you may have noticed that we’ve just been flying around in circles. We can’t land due to strong thunderstorms over Detroit, but we’ll need to or we’ll run out of fuel soon.”

Not the type of message that inspires confidence.

People started panicking and biting their nails. He might as well have said, “I am in ur airplane, crashing ur passengers.” While waiting to die land, I thought of some cruel things flight attendants could say:

1. “We’re running low on oxygen. Could you try not to breathe for the remainder of the trip?”
2. “So! Who knows how to land a plane? Hands, please.”
3. “Does anyone know how to check a pulse? The pilots aren’t moving.”
4. “I know there’s no smoking onboard aircraft, but this might be a really good time to light up.”
5. “I hope you were paying attention when I told you how to use your seat as a life preserver.”
6. “Those of you in exit rows might want to notify next of kin.”
7. “Now if I were a bomb, what suitcase would I be hiding in?”
8. “I don’t think you’ll need to worry about making your connecting flights.”
9. “OK. Who’s the wise guy that stuck pins in this pilot-shaped doll?”
10. “Tonight’s movie is Gigli.”
