This reminds me of some of the things we were going to put into Kelly's and
my MS-Airlines spoof:


               (i)  Deploy Landing Gear
       Please insert MS-Airlines CD in drive E:
       and enter your 64-digit activation code.
          Press Next to deploy landing gear.


       (!) Do you REALLY want to adjust altitude
               to avoid mid-air collision?
                    [Yes]      [NO]


The airplane has performed an illegal operation and will be grounded
immediately.  
Details>>
General protection fault in module FUSELAGE.DLL at seat 21-A.
Press Enter to crash.


...and on and on they went.  We must have had over a hundred over a couple
days' time.  Every time I go to make a comprehensive list though, they seem
to evaporate from my mind.
