Back when I worked at Stansted airport I was standing at one of the gates and up until this point successfully chatting up a stewardess when the eighties trickster himself came shuffling up to us and butted in with:

'why is that plane on fire?'

I looked outside the window and could see what he was talking about.. there's a fake green plane on the other side of the airport that the fire service use for training and the thing was chugging out flames and smoke. I could see he was genuinely concerned so told him what it was.

His reply was a snidey 'doesn't fill me with much confidence.'

At this point I started laughing as not only did I think he was joking but I had also glanced at the claw hand clutching his Ryanair boarding card. He just scowled at me and walked off. Probably for a wank.

You'd think he could see the funny side.
