Being airborne for approximately thirty minutes on an outbound evening Air Lingus flight from Dublin Ireland, the lead flight attendant nervously made the following announcement:
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m so very sorry, but it appears that there has been a terrible mix-up… One minute prior to take-off, by our catering service…, I don’t know how this has happened, but we have 103 passengers on board, and unfortunately, we received only 40 dinner meals… I truly apologize for this mistake and inconvenience.”
When passengers’ muttering had died down, she continued…, “Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal so that someone else can eat, will receive free, unlimited drinks for the duration of our 4 hour flight.”
