Don't say "bomb" when you're in a plane

This is one of the worst and funniest thing i've ever heard. Never say the "b" word when you're in flight or else you might end up in jail. A 65-year-old Australian man was fined S$10,000 ($6,423) by a Singapore court for uttering the word "bomb" on a flight to Indonesia. Riccardo Paulin, a retiree, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to having asked a flight attendant "Where do you keep the bomb?" on a flight operated by Singapore regional carrier SilkAir to the Indonesian city of Surabaya Riccardo Paulin was charged under the United Nations anti-terrorism regulations, which carry a maximum fine of $100,000 or up to five years in jail or both.
