An Airline with a sense of humor

Kulula is a low-cost South-African airline that doesn't take itself too seriously. Check out their new livery!

See also the comments of flight attendants and crew listed below.

Kulula is an Airline with head office situated in Johannesburg; their airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight "safety lecture" and announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some examples that have been heard or reported:

On a Kulula flight, (there is no assigned seating, you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, "People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!"

On another flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants."

On landing, the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have."

"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane."

"Thank you for flying Kulula. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."

As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Durban Airport , a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"

After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in the Karoo , a flight attendant on a flight announced, "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."

"In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with more than one small child, pick your favourite."

"Your seats cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments."

And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Kulula Airlines is pleased to announce that we have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"

Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."

Secure, High-Speed Data Shredder

Ok, we all have the utilities that permanently erase data from hard drives.  But that can take hours.

  And we can always remove the hard drive from the case and subject it to mechanical stress in order to render it unreadable. But even that can take awhile.

  Fortunately, a new data shredder from SSI solves those problems.  So if you look out the windows and suddenly see the cops/mob/employer/ex-wife/60–minutes news team walking up to your door, the SSI data shredder allows to completely remove all traces of data from your computer in mere seconds. 

  The secret?  It processes the entire computer without having to run utilities or remove the hard drive.  See the attached demo video. [Thanks, George.]
