Ladies and gentlemen, this is the captain speaking. Due to the failure of this company to continue enriching the owner class, we are obliged to activate the self destruct on this aircraft in ten seconds. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for flying with Spirit Airlines.

“Since we could only raise $10k we will be landing in Cincinnati, ya cheap bastards. Thanks for flying Spirit and fuck you.”

these days: "Every morning I wake up is a good one. 🤷🏼‍♂️"
