The Irish never hesitate to come to the aid of their fellow man...in this case air passengers.
Shortly after take off on an outbound flight from Dublin to New York the lead flight attendant made the following painful announcement in her lovely Irish brogue.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so very sorry, but their has been a terrible mix up by our catering service. I don't know how this has happened, but we have 103 passengers on board and unfortunately we only received 40 dinner meals. I truly apologize for this mistake and inconvenience.
When the muttering of the passengers died down, she continued, "anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal so that someone else can eat will receive free and unlimited drinks for the duration of our 10 hour flight".
Her next announcement came about two hours later, "If anyone is hungry we still have 40 dinners available".
