I know an airplane version of that:

After the pilot introduced himself, explained the flight plan, and greeted everyone, just shout out loud: "What? He? Is he allowed to fly yet again?"

Or another one:

If the person on a commuter train approaches to check your ticket, stand up and run. After he caught you just show your ticket.

Yes, thanks, misread and thought Steiner mentioned Facebook, not just the internet, which was a thing in 1993.
