Air Messiah Welcome aboard to Air Messiah's Flight 666 to Jehovah's Pearly Gate Airport. Prophecies are good and we pray for a smooth ascension. To ensure a pleasant passing over for yourselves and other passengers please observe the following rules: No luggage, incest, false idols or mixed fibres in the aisles. No smoking, homosexuals, blasphemers or Mormons. The practice of voodoo, communism, atheism and Darwinism is strictly prohibited. Any souls left unattended may be removed and destroyed by the security services. In case of emergency, please locate the faith jacket and rosary beads in the pocket beside your seat. Upon arrival in Heaven please have ready your passports as well as details of life time Church donations (in papal florins) before passing through the sin detector. Once through the sin detector please take time to look around the gift shop where this week we have special offers on papal indulgencies and fragments of the True Cross. We hope that you enjoy your flight and remember to fly Air Messiah again. Amen.
