**Shortly after take off the pilot said “Thank you for flying with us this morning. The weather is…” Then suddenly, while still on the mic, he starts screaming, “Oh my God, oh my God it’s burning!” A ghostly silence reigned. He gets back on the microphone and says, “I sincerely apologize for the incident, but I just dropped a very hot cup of coffee on my lap… You should see my pants!” One passenger shouts back, “Why don’t you come here and see ours!”
