A real #%@! storm: Long Island couple sits outside minding their own business. Something splatters them. Rain? Bird? Nope, said the cop: “Lavatory leak.” Why, yes, they do live under the JFK flightpath.

Bad Flight Attendant I: He/she said “No one’s getting off the plane!” until a passenger-rented video player was returned. Unclear if they’re still sitting there.
