Sitting on the runway, waiting to fly to Dallas (at f-ing 6 a.m.):
Lights flicker in the cabin.
Lights go off.
Engines shut down.
Everything starts back up.
Rinse and repeat twice.
The captain: "We're sorry folks, but just like Windows sometimes airplanes need to reboot. Sometimes everything just seems to work again if you shut it off and turn it back on."
Me: *shrug*
Girl next to me: "OMG, shut it off? SEEMS to work again?"
Girl starts drinking. At 6 a.m.
Woohoo.
NOTE: Checking lines at the airport--really long. Attendants--really freaked. Security--not so much. Security guys--kinda flirty.
