The other day, I said to Siri "Surely it will stop raining." Siri replied, "On Sunday, and don't call me Shirley." (lemmy.world)

I may have TOTALLY misread your comment, so please forgive me if I'm explaining something you already know.

About :60 into this clip is the explanation. It's from an older movie called Airplane!. Great movie. So silly.

Again, sorry if you weren't actually looking for an explanation of the joke and if I've completely missed the point here.

I think you may have gotten a little whooshed, but it's all love 🫶🏼

PS: don't eat the fish

You actually did not get wooshed. I mean, yes I did make a joke on how assistants kind of suck, but I also didn't actually understand. The airplane mode thing flew right over my head.

So thank you for the explanation! I think I'd like to see this film, it's very different from the American humour I'm used to. It's a bit more deadpan and surreal, very interesting!
