Would you give up your meal? 🤔🤣

The Helsinki-Toronto flight was loaded with 400 passengers and only 200 lunches. The airline made a mistake and the crew was in a difficult situation. However, an intelligent flight attendant has come up with an idea. About 30 minutes after take-off, she announced:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how this happened, but we have 400 passengers on board and only 200 lunches!" “Anyone who is kind enough to give up food for someone else will receive a free unlimited amount of wine throughout the flight.”
Her next announcement was made 6 hours later: "Ladies and Gentlemen, if anyone wants to change their mind, we still have 200 lunches available!" "
Moral of the story: wine drinkers have a very big and kind soul!😊

Credit goes to respective owner.

A big merry Christmas and a very Happy new year to all my lovely customers!
Loyalty to a small business is so important in these times and I really do appreciate your loyalty more than you’ll ever know!!
It has been so nice to have lots of newbies recommended to me this year aswell as being passed down the family to the children now old enough to go away by themselves!
Thankyou again!!
If I could buy you all a holiday I would! But this cheesy photo and my gratitude will have to do!!
Have a wonderful Christmas!!
