Strangest thing ever seen

[tuna]

I was in Prescott, sitting in the airplane being a good little doobie, and doing my take-off performance calculations (just after I got my private). I noticed a tail-dragger taxiing up but, didn't pay too much attention to it and went back to the books. I then heard a thud, and felt a jolt. I looked up and noticed that the tail-dragger had just hit the prop. I looked towards his plane with a dumbfounded look. Right at this time, the guy looks back, notices that I am sitting in the plane, and guns his engine. He gets to the end of the runway and, without missing a beat, he takes off. The prop was fine but, what a moron!


P.S. Just to keep in the spirit of things. My favorite is when someone has an "itch they need to scratch". But they say "I have to itch my back" or, wherever they have the itch.

Did you get his N-number?

My wife does that too, sometimes. She also misuses "lie/lay."

"I was laying on the couch..."

"Really? What were you laying? Sod? Eggs?"

(Sadly, I've heard Tom Brocaw mess that one up, too.)

First of all, no, I didn't get the guys N number. (Too young and dumb to figure it out at the time.)

I made the mistake of visualizing this phenomenon and, all that I can see, is a woman squatting over a couch, pumping out eggs.


I can't stop laughing

Judging by your avatar, she may have been laying pipe.

I was in West Texas once when I stopped about sunset at the Marfa Lights Viewing area, located on the highway between Marfa and Alpine (next to an old WWII aux field, so this is on topic).

Besides me, there was an interesting collections of tourists and various serious nutcases waiting for the appearance of the mysterious light show that happens there sometime.

I looked off to the west, and saw the strangest thing I'd ever seen in the sky. A huge black silhouette, rotating high in the sky. I knew I recognized it............my God..... It looks like a giant flying.....Oscar Myer Weiner Mobile!!!!!!!!

After shaking my head a few times I recalled that there is a tethered aerostat located near Marfa, but it was a weird feeling there for a moment.

Latter we did see the lights, I don't know what they are.

"Lights are nothing more than the headlights and taillights of cars driving U.S. 67 between Marfa and Presidio, on the crest of the Chinati Mountains."

The reports that they have been seen for 100 years may be false.


The funniest thing I've seen: Guy on a tug pulling a honey wagon. He turns the tug to park it next to the baggage loader. Tug turns, trailer turns, but the tank on top of the trailer continues straight ahead. Blue goo dumps all over the ramp. Guy looks around to see if he's been caught. Tries to push it upright, no luck there. He looks at it for a moment, scratches his head, and walks away.
