Hey Planes Don't Miss Your Airports Please?
How did we miss the story about the airplane pilots that blew right on by Minneapolis? (Or were getting blown.) Ignoring radio contact from the ground for an hour? Like, the pilots could have ended up anywhere, if a flight attendant didn't call up and be like "HEY YOU GUYS we are in Wisconsin now." But you know, the pilots are being paid less than me right now so I guess I don't expect much good service about arrivals and stuff.
You ever been in a cockpit before?
No sir, I've never been up in a plane before.
You ever seen a grown man naked?
Joey, have you ever been in a… in a Turkish prison?
You like movies about Gladiators?
I speak Jive.
There's a sale at Penny's!
That's what you get when you spill paint in the garage at my house.
I'm sure Otto Pilot kept everything from getting blown out of proportion.
But where'd they get a piece of metal?
In space.
At that hour.
I'm glad I'm not one of these guys right now!
Maybe now they'll reconsider the 'seal the pilots in the cockpit for the whole flight' rule. Leave the door wide open the way they used to do, so we can make sure there isn't any snoozing or shenanigans going on up there.
If we can check on pilots' snoozing and shenanigans, then haven't the terrorists won?
As appropriate time as any for a good Russian joke, as told to me by a real live Russian who lives in Sheepshead Bay.
So, a French guy, a German guy and a Russian are flying over Europe. French guy gets up, opens the window and leans out. "We're flying over France now. I can smell the pastries and the cheese!" Little later, the German gets up and does the same thing. "We're over Germany now. I can smell the sausages and the beer!" Little later the Russian gets up, opens the window and leans out. "We're over Russia now. Someone just stole my watch."
That, my friends, is Russian humor.
No doubt the "heated debate" was about Brett Favre…hero or traitor?
That's usually what people in, and over, Minnesota are talking about.
Sully would have never let this happen.
It was Sully who woke them up.
If I didn't love Sully enough before, seeing him on the Daily Show a couple weeks ago sealed the deal. He's pretty much the best guy ever.
This statement is true.
Clearly, they were abducted by ALIENS, but only for an hour, and they don't remember what happened.
And although I am exceedingly good at 'connecting the dots', I cannot figure out why the targeted ad for this page is from scientology.org.
"Xenu's entire fleet of DC8-like spaceships then flew to planet Earth, where the frozen people were dumped in and around volcanoes in the Canary Islands and the Hawaiian Islands. When Xenu's Air Force had finished dumping the bodies into the volcanoes, hydrogen bombs were dropped into the volcanoes and the frozen space aliens were destroyed."
Pithy!!
