Tower: "Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!" Delta 351: "Give us another hint! We have digital watches!" ************************************************** ****** "TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees." "Centre, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?" "Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?" ************************************************** ****** From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long take-off queue: "I'm f...ing bored!" Ground Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!" Unknown aircraft: "I said I was f...ing bored, not f...ing stupid!" ************************************************** ****** O'Hare Approach Control to a 747: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound." United 239: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this... I've got the little Fokker in sight." ************************************************** ****** A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll out after touching down. San Jose Tower Noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you are able. If you are not able, take the Guadeloupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport." ************************************************** ****** A military pilot called for a priority landing because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked." Air Traffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two, behind a B-52 that had one engine shut down. "Ah," the fighter pilot remarked, "The dreaded seven-engine approach." ************************************************** ******* A Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following: Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?" Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English." Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?" Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war." ************************************************** ****** Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for take-off, contact Departure on frequency 124.7" Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway." Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for take-off behind Eastern 702, contact Departure on frequency 124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?" Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for take-off, roger; and yes, we copied Eastern... we've already notified our caterers."

An elderly couple had been dating for some time and decided it was finally time to marry. Before the wedding, they had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living arrangements and so on. Finally the old man decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship. "How do you feel about sex?" he asked, rather hopefully. "Well, I'd have to say I like it infrequently," she responded. The old guy paused... then he asked, "Was that one word or two?" |

How to survive with women – you treat them like your car! Lift up the front and have a good hard look. Check the spare tyre and any handles. Make sure the top can come down and look good in the summer. Are the bodywork and lines to your liking. Ensure it response well when you are in the driving seat. Fit a child lock. Make sure any unusual noises can be safely ignored. Ensure sole ownership. If possible test drive several times before committing to ownership. Make sure that there is a proper response when you put your foot down…. and that it is easy to control. Ensure that no joy rider can get their hands on it. See if the coil needs replacing. Watch out for any nasty emissions. Keep all leather accessories in order. For your own safety never attempt to handle when drunk. Never let your friends have a go. German models- tend to be solid, steady runners, not ideal for frequent brief usage. Italian models- are very responsive but change hands often and often make worrying noises. American models- tend to consume excessive amounts of fuel. British models- especially the attractive ones, are hard to find and expensive to maintain. Swedish models- are usually versatile and safe. Japanese models- are mass produced and reliable, but very common and often unattractive. French models- are easy to come by but frequently disappointing |

A monkey is sitting in a tree smoking a joint when a lizard walks past and looks up and says to the monkey, "Hey! what are you doing?" The monkey says "Smoking a joint, come up and have some." So the lizard climbs up and sits next to the monkey and they smoke a few doobies. After a while the lizard says his mouth is 'dry' and he is going to get a drink from the river. The lizard is so stoned that he leans too far over and falls into the river. A Crocodile sees this and swims over to the lizard and helps him to the side, then asks the lizard, "What's the matter with you?" The lizard explains to the crocodile that he was sitting smoking a joint with the monkey in the tree, got too stoned and then fell into the river while taking a drink. The crocodile says he has to check this out and walks into the jungle, finds the tree where the monkey is sitting, finishing a joint, and he looks up and says "hey you!" The Monkey looks down and says "DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMN dude.......how much water did you drink?!!" |

A flying buddy of mine, had a great flight, from a ( not permitted anymore ) site in Mass. to Boston Harbor. ( about 85 miles ) He skillfully ( he's good ) avoided the air traffic control zone & landed on the beach, near the JFK center. In a Hang Glider. The Boston PD officer on beach duty insisted he "get that thing out of here" When given a yes sir, he stopped my bud from carrying the glider up to the parking lot. "Fly it out of here, RIGHT NOW" He had a real hard time understanding that a glider, with no engine, at sea level, was not going to just fly away. |

We were on approach to Chicago from DC on a very foggy day. I could tell we were getting close as I heard the flaps lower and eventually the gear go down. Then moments later, we rocketed into the sky at full throttle. The pilot came over the PA and announced, "Sorry folks, we were given the wrong vector and was going to miss the runway. We're taking it around for another pass." Can you imagine the looks of terror on that plane at that point until we were safely on the ground! On the same continuing flight to Tokyo, he announced that we were being diverted to the domestic terminal because we were almost out of fuel! After 3 hours on the ground, couldn't offload because there are no customs agents at the domestic terminal, we lined up for takeoff to the international airport. About half way down the runway the emergency buzzer from the cockpit could be heard all the way at the back of the plane! The pilot slammed on the brakes and we exited to taxi for another try as the pilot said, OVER THE PA, "OOPS, missed an item on the checklist." Some people should avoid honesty...
