While most of their flights deliver the standard FAA mandated "get in, sit down, shut up, hold on" spiel, if you're really lucky you just might someday be on a Southwest Airlines flight and hear something like >>this<<. (Suck it up and once you get past the obligatory commercial I promise you'll have a great laugh. Be sure and listen to the end.)
I hope Southwest Airlines never loses their goof-ball sense of humor. Not many companies would let their employees have this much fun at work. Kudos SWA!

Once when flying SWA I was being my usual smart-assed self (playfully of course) with one of their flight attendants. After a little back-and-forth fun she went to work, walking through the cabin carrying one of those small trays holding a number of Styrofoam coffee cups. As she walked toward me (I was in an aisle seat) she "tripped" and dumped it all into my lap. *gasp*
The cups were full of confetti. Ha! She/we had the whole plane in stitches. That would probably be a firing offense on any other airline, but not Southwest. Gotta LUV 'em.
As we were deplaning at the gate, she was standing by the door giving us all the "thanks for flying Southwest" line. When I came to her and turned towards the door I smiled and handed her my barf bag which had some ice and a little Coke sloshing around inside. Karma is a bitch. :)
I think we both had a good laugh that day. :)
