Ready for take off
Taxiing down the tarmac, a plane abruptly stopped, turned around and returned to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off.
A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, „What was the problem?“
„The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine,“ he explained.
„So it took an hour to fix the problem?“ the passenger asked.
„No,“ he replied, „It took us an hour to find another pilot.“
