Ebola Scare on US Airways Flight 845 from Philadelphia to Punta Cana (Patrick Narvaez)

For good reason, you don't make jokes about bombs on airplanes. Now we can add another thing to the list of dumb things to say that will get you pulled from a flight: Ebola.

A 54-year-old American passenger on a US Airways flight from Philadelphia to the Dominican Republic reportedly said, "I have Ebola, you are all screwed," adding that he had been to Africa.

Spoiler: He doesn't have Ebola and hadn't been to Africa.

Upon landing, a medical team wearing hazmat suits came onboard to remove the man from the plane. Another passenger captured the whole scene on video.

As the man makes his way off the jet, you can hear him say, "I was just kidding ... I ain't from Africa." The investigation revealed that not only was he not sick with the virus that causes so much panic, he had also not been to Africa and hadn't been around anyone infected with the virus.

The other passengers sat in the plane for two hours while the guy was evaluated.
