Overheard on a flight from Lucknow to Delhi that reached its destination before time:
Uncle 1: Flight is before time.
Uncle 2: Haan, hawa ka direction Dilli ki taraf ka hoga, plane isliye jaldi pahuch gaya! (The wind must be blowing int the direction of all Delhi, that's why the flight's reached early).
And then, no one laughs. OMG! he was serious.
Can I please continue to laugh? ROFL!!
Edited to add: Ok, the joke's on me! There's some method to the madness, as some of you point out. So let's get together and laugh at my ROFLing. Cool?
And yes, I've deleted the duplicate posts and some comments may have gotten deleted with them. So sorry, but nothing personal about it, ok?

Ainng ? ;) ROFL
and what are you doing in Delhi in this freezing cold ?
ROFL!!! Hilarious!!!
Can I join you in ROFLing?
I am not sure whether I laughed more at the joke or at the fact that the guy was serious! :P
Headwind (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headwind) and tailwind (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailwind) certainly make a difference to flights. Why is this funny?
Like I said earlier, he's right and there is a concept of tail wind that explains this phenomenon. It wasn't a joke!
Tailwind is a serious phenomenon, guys. Nothing to laugh about. It considerably increases the speed of a plane and reduces the flight time. :|
physics, anyone? :D
yes, flew too much all my life to learn all about tailwinds and headwinds.
i am a closet geek.
LMAO :p
