Best pre-flight safety instructions EVER

As overheard on a Virgin Blue flight...

"If the cabin looses presureatation and oxygen masks fall from the ceiling, once you've finished screaming, pull snugly on the safety mask and place over your nose and mouth to start the flow of oxygen"

Finally, a flight attendant who got it right. I hate how those damn safety videos have everyone looking calm and bored while their plane is doing down, moving into their safety positions like it's a chore. Personally, if my flight is going nose first towards the ground, the only safety position I'm going to assume is the one where I stand up, spread my legs, bend over and kiss my ass goodbye.

Seriously, have you ever heard of a plane landing in the water? Of course not, because it can't. They spend so much time preparing you for "the unlikely event of a water landing" when instead they should just show you the crash scene from Cast Away, so you can note what it is Tom Hanks did to be the only person to survive the flight.
