Just one irrelevant post

In Nikolaj Nyholm's story about WIFI (previous post) he tells us one access point in the plane went down. And the WIFI still worked fine.

That reminds me of an old times funny story I just couldn't stop sharing with you. Even if it's totally irrelevant (Why what's relevant and irrelevant is important could be studied in this great post by John Yunker).

Here's the story:

Two Norwegians flew over the Atlantic in a SAS airliner. Suddenly the plane shaked and a flame came out from one of the engines.

The voice of the Captain appeared in the speakers: We got one engine damaged. There is nothing to worry about, as we still have three engines going. But because of the incident we unfortunately will be one hour late. We appologize for the inconvenience.

The Norwegians felt relieved.

After an hour the plane shaked again. The Captain in the speakers: Another engine has gone down. However it is still nothing to worry about as we can fly on our two remaining engines. But we will now be two hours late. We appologize for the inconvenience.

The Norwegians were a bit upset, but still calm.

But when suddenly the third engine got wasted they really became worried. Once again the Captain took the microphone. "Ladies and Gentlemen, yet another engine is out of order. However there is still nothing to worry about. But we now will be four hours late".

Shaken, one of the Norwegians opened his mouth: "Let's really hope the last engines won't break, because then we will have to stay up here all night".

Perhaps not so funny. And totally irrelevant.
