:-) reminds me of my friend Jean who worked in a kitchen. She thought everyone kept wanting her to wash.
Neat. I thoug he said you da bomb or something. Might just be me... probably is
Heard it before, but its good
Oh that was good. Awesome one buddy.
good one there!! funny and catchy at the same time!!
Very clever...very clever indeed.
Very clever. I couldn't have thought of that. But what if the person never actually meant hijack. It get's confusing at times.
Funny, very funny!
nice!
Very funny.
This was pretty funny!
Very clever and funny...and at the same time, entirely possible in reality...scary huh?
funny and would have made a good teaser if u hadn't wrote he was arrested. he could just explain it to people it was a mistake.
Nice. I thought maybe the friend's name was 'Bomb'. Jack makes more sense. =D
There's a Pearls Before Swine cartoon about this.
A guy named Angry gets on a plane to Vegas. Before they land, they play a get-to-know each other game. They have to say their name, hi to the previous person, and their favorite thing about Vegas.
Two flight attendants give examples, and the second says, "My name is Jack. Hi, Sally. My favorite part of Vegas is the slot machines."
Angry is so pleased that when it comes to be his turn, he says, "I'm Angry! Hi, Jack! This plane!"
The last panel reads, 'TSA officials arrested Angry upon arrival.'

Also, wouldn't he have to say something else other than just 'hijack'?
If he just said 'hijack' it would be pretty unclear what he meant.
