*A parachute!? HA!* What, because with all the panicking that'd be going on, you think you could properly strap on a 'chute? (It's a harness, not a rucksack.) Especially if it was your first time? I'm guessing some people still wouldn't have the guts to jump anyway, even with their life on the line. Then there's the weather: you don't want to be parachuting when it's too windy. Even without bad weather, you could still find yourself in a region that's inappropriate to land... Hey, like, water! Hope you included the lifejacket as well. You didn't? Oh... Hope you have a knife to quickly cut the 'chute loose and take/cut off your clothes and that you're a good swimmer... Sounds like the kind of thing a nine-year-old and grandma could "easily" handle... :) So, really, you're much better off waiting for the plane to be flown/glided down, pop the lifejacket on, get yourself in the brace position, land (if gear still works) or hit the land/water, and get out when instructed (inflate lifejacket if appropriate of course). Legit question (especially if you're a youngster), but parachutes in planes is not going to happen! Unless you're going skydiving...

One of the best if not THE best. Brings back great memories watching him with my family, all of laughing so hard🤣🤣🤣

Dave Allen is one of my absolutely FAVOURITE comedians. He is absolutely hilarious. One of his best shows was the one that contained the anagrams that revealed the names of the politicians during the 80's. Satire at its best!

I immediately thought of Carlin's airplane routine. "They tell you to get on the plane...everyone...get on the plane. Fuck you, let Evil Knievel get on the plane. I'm getting IN the plane!"

I like George Carlin too. The difference is that his routines were loud and angry all along. Dave Allen could command an audience by speaking very quietly. Some of his most famous routines were based around ghost stories, almost as if he wanted to scare his audience, who listened so attentively you could hear a pin drop. We Brits like to claim a bit of Dave Allen, as he took the piss out of us as much and as mercilessly as those from his own country! Perhaps the best thing about him is that nobody has been able to do any muckraking about him since he died. Seems like he was a really nice guy.
