Southwest flight attendant, at the end of a long and overall-pretty-clever inflight routine from San Diego to Sacramento this afternoon:

And now I'll tell you what my parents told me when I turned 18--take your stuff and get out.

Ka-VOOM.

Whups! mMy friend Cappy calls my attention to the fact that we took our stuff and got out just in time:

Southwest Airlines flight skids off taxiway in Washington

(01-27) 18:47 PST Spokane, Wash. (AP) --

A Southwest Airlines plane with 118 passengers on board skidded off a snow-covered taxiway Sunday afternoon after safely landing at Spokane International Airport, the airline said.

No one was injured, but flights didn't resume for more than three hours.

The pilot of Southwest Flight 485, which took off from Portland, Ore. after making stops in San Diego and Sacramento, was slowly taxiing to the gate when the front wheels of the plane slid off the taxiway around 1:40 p.m., said Brandy King, a spokeswoman for the Dallas-based carrier.
