I witnessed a similar thing on a SouthWest flight several years ago. The line about the choosing which child you loved the most was also mentioned along with, the lights will shortly be dimmed for take off. Look at the person next to you because if they look scary now in full light they will frighten you silly in the half light. Please raise you hand if you need to swap seats. Then at X thousand feet the cabin crew sung a little ditty about serving peanuts and tomato juice. It made my wife relax, as she is not a good flyer...

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
