Engine trouble:
Mahinda was on board in a plane from Colombo to New York.
Fifteen minutes into the flight, the captain announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, one of our engines has failed, but we still have three engines left. So there is nothing to worry about. Our flight will take an hour longer than scheduled."
Thirty minutes later the captain announced, "One more engine has failed and the flight will take an additional two hours. But don't worry, we can fly just fine on two engines."
An hour later the captain announced, "One more engine has failed and our arrival will be delayed another hour. But don't worry, we still have one more engine left."
Mahinda turned to the man in the next seat and sighed, "If we lose the last engine also, we'll have to be up in the air forever!"
