Honest In-Flight Announcements

I came across a light article :
In-flight announcements are not entirely truthful. What might an honest one sound like?

“GOOD morning, ladies and gentlemen. We are delighted to welcome you aboard Veritas Airways, the airline that tells it like it is. Please ensure that your seat belt is fastened, your seat back is upright and your tray-table is stowed. At Veritas Airways, your safety is our first priority. Actually, that is not quite true: if it were, our seats would be rear-facing, like those in military aircraft, since they are safer in the event of an emergency landing. But then hardly anybody would buy our tickets and we would go bust....


It's quite amusing, I thought.

有一位圣者这么说:

人间是一个很奇妙的所在地,有形与无形共存,
看得见与看不见相互为用。
所以
一件事情的产生,其中必定牵连着看不见的成因;
一件事情的发展,其中也必定牵连着看不见的无数线索。
