It should say the following in big easy to read letters:

Don't Panic

Seriously though I'm not sure how helpful this screen is. It only is going to happen if there is some serious problem. The first thing a user will do is look up what the screen means.

Putting a funny joke on the screen might make people laugh even though they are likely having a bad time.
