You've all heard of the Air Force's ultra-high-security, super-secret base in Nevada, known simply as "Area 51"?
Well, late one afternoon, the Air Force folks out at Area 51 were very surprised to see a Cessna landing at their "secret" base. They immediately impounded the aircraft and hauled the pilot into an interrogation room.
The pilot's story was that he had taken off from Las Vegas, got lost, and spotted the base's runway just as he was about to run out of fuel. The Air Force started a full FBI background check on the pilot and held him overnight during the investigation.
By the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot really had been lost and really wasn't a spy. They gassed up his airplane, gave him a terrifying "you-did-not-see-a-base" briefing, complete with threats of spending the rest of his life in prison, told him Vegas was that-a-way on such-and-such a heading, and sent him on his way.
The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force, the same Cessna showed up again. Once again, the MPs surrounded the plane as it pulled to a stop...only this time there were two people in the plane.
The same pilot jumped out and said, "Do anything you want to me, but that's my wife in the plane, and you have to tell her where I was last night."
The baseless fear of WOMAN as black widow spider.
Don't blame me. Blame Paul (A.). And his wife is a lovely woman.
Oh my... I cannot think of anything witty to add here...
ReplyDeleteAnd his wife is a lovely woman.
ReplyDeleteYou keep saying this, Mimi, as if there were some question about it.

(I cannot think of anything witty I'd add, either)
Paul (A.), a gentle reminder, lest you forget.
ReplyDeleteThat's the last thing I'd ever forget.
ReplyDeleteAnd contrary to your black-widow-spider comment, perhaps this is just an illustration of "what doesn't happen in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas".
Bien tourné!
ReplyDeleteBien tourné!
ReplyDeleteGöran, Paul (A.) or the joke?
