Image Hosted by ImageShack.usThings that make you wonder (seen in Amsterdam's Schiphol airport):

- Why do they need to advertise the telephone number on the truck? So a passenger can call them for help if his aircraft's structure gets damaged?

- Why is this in English? To maximise the chances that a passenger will be able to call them for help if the aircraft's structure gets damaged?

(I'm just glad that that wasn't the plane I was going to be boarding...)

Hi, Guys!

It's in English because that's an "International Language" if my sources are correct. (Everybody wants to learn English, including the terrorists) And perhaps the truck takes an occasional Sabbatical from Schiphol (for ein bier, bitte)? On the other hand...."It pays to advertise"...

But then, in these days, who can make sense of the European mind?...
