Caught in Traffic

The Great Plotnik and The Great Ducknik are seated on the plane. The announcement comes: "Shmunited Air Lines apologizes deeply, but our copilot is caught in traffic and can't get to the airport. Therefore, our departure has been rescheduled to 1PM."

A 1PM departure means an 8:30 landing. P and D miss the dinner they were flying to Atlanta for. Plotnik has sworn to never again fly this bankrupt garbage airline before. Now, he does it again. Caught in traffic. Yo mama.

The flight attendants retreat behind a wall of indifference. "How about you don't charge us for your crummy meals, then?" somebody says. "Are you planning to do that?"

"Not at this time," says the flight attendant.

Yo Mama, Plotnik thinks, and we say it aloud: Yo mama.
