The Airplane Girl Scout Joke Has a Backstory

Paramount

Airplane! also includes a ridiculous bar fight involving girl scounts. ZAZ loved jokes about girl scouts.

When they ran the Kentucky Fried Theater, the program included a page entitled, “Things to do after the show.” They included: Visit a dairy and see how milk is handled and prepared for delivery; plan a series of window displays on home safety; help start a library; discuss with your dentist what you can do to make your teeth more attractive.”

All those suggestions are from The Girl Scout Handbook.
