And boy are my arms tired! Just joking, of course. But seriously, what's up with airplane food? And that is not schtick. Why does airplane food have to be so horrible? Are there logistic reasons for this?

Why, praytell, would your arms be tired, and what, may I ask, would be the humorous implications thereof? Thanks.

The joke is that "flew" implies airplanes to most people, and therefore the comedy of misdirection surprises the listener by implying that I flapped my arms like a bird, which "flew" could also mean.

Its elevation. Because the airplanes carry it high into the sky.

If I may interject, the joke itself is quite humorous. It is just the most often told joke known to man next to "why did the chicken cross the road," which is also quite humorous, but since the punchline is known before the question is even fully asked, the humor is lost on us.

Being amused by jokes like this is like reading jokes on a Popsicle stick and cackling for 20 minutes.

Only a fool, I believe, would, upon reading your post, make, as their first inference, the assumption, that you used your arms to fly.

No, it's the other way. Everyone assumes that the Vaudeville comedian meant an airplane. Thus, when he implies that he flew by flapping his arms, it is classic comedy of misdirection.

Your taste buds are actually affected by altitude causing airplane food to taste funny/unpleasant.
Plus, you gargle cock and ass every morning so that won't help the taste

Still, from an objective point of view, regardless of altitude, it is crap food.

From the culinary perspective, it is all avian food.

taste buds are not as accurate when you are thousands of feet above sea level and even moreso when you're in a pressurized cabin

By failing to fly first class, you lose face in front of any potential customers or business associates. This reduces your earning potential, meaning that in the long run, you will have less money than you otherwise would have, had you flown first class.

People fly for the food all the time, but the smart ones eat the meals on the ground where you can actually taste it. You can find lots of tiny burger joints that are the only thing for miles around an remote airstrip.

Are you saying that people buy airline tickets and go on a flight, not because they want to make a journey, but for the airplane food?

No, I am saying that people, for the journey, fly in private aircraft for the food, to eat on the ground.

That's it!!! Miller Airlines! That could be your eleventh career! The gimmick would be that every Miller Air flight is actually a 5 Michelin Star restaurant in the clouds. And when you board the plane, a rickshaw being towed by a Turtle King™ electric scooter takes you onto the tarmac.
