THE FLIGHT

It was mealtime during a flight on El-Al. "Would you like dinner?"
the flight attendant asked Moishe, seated in front.
''What are my choices?" Moishe asked
"Yes or no," she replied.

Well, I thought is was funny.

Well, that's because you are young. :-)

Interesting conclusion considering the context of the joke. I would
have thought that an older American hearing the joke would be more apt
to "get it" in light of the history of American airline deregulation.
(the implication being that an older American would be more apt to
have first hand knowledge of the experiences both pre and post
deregulation). Since I am too young, the joke is funny to me, but may
be even more funny if I had the experience of having pre-deregulation
service.

As an aside, it seems that it may be even more context sensitive by
the choice of El Al as the airline and (perhaps) references to
"lessons learned" when deregulating airlines.
