Just a little late, seasonally, but great!

The Night Before Christmas -- for General Aviators

Twas the night before Christmas, and out on the ramp,
Not an airplane was stirring, not even a Champ.
The aircraft were fastened to tiedowns with care,
In hopes that come morning, they all would be there.

The fuel trucks were nestled, all snug in their spots,
With gusts from two-forty at 39 knots.
I slumped at the fuel desk, now finally caught up,
And settled down comfortably, resting my butt.

When the radio lit up with noise and with chatter,
I turned up the scanner to see what was the matter.
A voice clearly heard over static and snow,
Called for clearance to land at the airport below.

He barked his transmission so lively and quick,
I'd have sworn that the call sign he used was "St. Nick".
I ran to the panel to turn up the lights,
The better to welcome this magical flight.

He called his position, no room for denial,
"St. Nicholas One, turnin' left onto final."
And what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a Rutan-built sleigh, with eight Rotax Reindeer!

With vectors to final, down the glideslope he came,
As he passed all the fixes, he called them by name:
"Now Ringo! Now Tolga! Now Trini and Bacun!
On Comet! On Cupid!" What pills was he takin'?

While controllers were sittin', and scratchin' their head,
They phoned to my office, and I heard it with dread,
The message they left was both urgent and dour:
"When Santa pulls in, have him please call the tower."

He landed like silk, with the sled runners sparking,
Then I heard "Left at Charlie," and "Taxi to parking."
He slowed to a taxi, turned off of three-oh
And stopped on the ramp with a "Ho, ho-ho-ho..."

He stepped out of the sleigh, but before he could talk,
I ran out to meet him with my best set of chocks.
His red helmet and goggles were covered with frost
And his beard was all blackened from Reindeer exhaust.

His breath smelled like peppermint, gone slightly stale,
And he puffed on a pipe, but he didn't inhale.
His cheeks were all rosy and jiggled like jelly,
His boots were as black as a cropduster's belly.

He was chubby and plump, in his suit of bright red,
And he asked me to "fill it, with hundred low-lead."
He came dashing in from the snow-covered pump,
I knew he was anxious for drainin' the sump.

I spoke not a word, but went straight to my work,
And I filled up the sleigh, but I spilled like a jerk.
He came out of the restroom, and sighed in relief,
Then he picked up a phone for a Flight Service brief.

And I thought as he silently scribed in his log,
These reindeer could land in an eighth-mile fog.
He completed his pre-flight, from the front to the rear,
Then he put on his headset, and I heard him yell, "Clear!"

And laying a finger on his push-to-talk,
He called up the tower for clearance and squawk.
"Take taxiway Charlie, the southbound direction,
Turn right three-two-zero at pilot's discretion"

He sped down the runway, the best of the best,
"Your traffic's a Grumman, inbound from the west."
Then I heard him proclaim, as he climbed thru the night,
"Merry Christmas to all! I have traffic in sight."

"Fireman Bob"

Fireman Bob rushed into a burning building
and rescued a beautiful young lady who was
clad only in the top half of her baby-doll
nightgown. He carried her in his arms down
three flights of stairs and saved her from
her sure demise.

As they arrived safely, a wash of gratitude
rushed over her. She looked at him with
great fondness and admiration, then said,
"Oh, you are wonderful! It must have taken
great strength and courage to rescue me
the way you did."

"Yes it did," the fireman admitted. "I had
to fight off three other firemen who were
trying to get to you first!"

================

"The Rescue"

A ladder was placed against the bedroom
window of a burning house, and a young
fireman rushed up. Inside was a curvy
brunette in a see-through nightie.

"Aha," said he, "You're the second pregnant
girl I've rescued this year!"

"But I'm not pregnant," indignantly exclaimed
the brunette.

"You're not rescued yet either."

Do you know the difference between an apple and an elephant?

No.

Well then, I wouldn't send you out to buy a pound of apples You might come back with a pound of elephants.


I am not sure I quite got the point; but I was tickled to death by the concept of a pound of elephants.

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.

Well, for example, the other day, my wife Pat and I went into town and visited a shop. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and I said, 'Come on, man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?'

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket.

I called him a pimple-faced power-tripping arsehole. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tyres. So Pat called him a small-minded little shit head. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windscreen with the first.

Then he started writing more tickets. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home. We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's important at our age.

True story:

We were on an art school trip to Berlin back in March 2011. In the bar at the Tacheles art-squat (now sadly closed) I was trying to take a group photo but the head of BA fine art didn't like having her photo taken so kept hiding behind the guy next to her, spoiling the once-in-a-lifetime shot.

Back at home I photoshopped an earlier photo of her into one of the artworks on the wall above where she had been sitting, printed half-a-dozen A3 size and put them up in various places around the fine art department (cruel, I know, but that's art students for you...).

Anyway, I'm putting one up in the big studio and one of the BA students asks, "Where's that?". "It's a bar in Berlin", says I. "What", says she, "and they've got a picture of Maggie on the wall?!!".

I really wish I'd said yes...

Senior Golf

Beverly is ninety years old. She's played golf every day since her retirement twenty-five years ago. One day she arrives home looking sad.

"That's it," she tells her husband, Gus. "I'm giving up golf. My eyesight has become so bad that once I hit the ball I can't see where it went."

Her husband makes her a cup of tea, and says, "Why don't you take me with you and give it one more try."

"That's no good" sighs Beverly. "You're a hundred and three. You can't help."

"I may be a hundred and three," says Gus, "but my eyesight is perfect."

So the next day Beverly heads off to the golf course with her Gus. She tees up, takes a mighty swing, and squints down the fairway.

She turns to the husband and says, "Did you see the ball?"

"Of course I did!" replied Gus, "I have perfect eyesight".

"Where did it go?" says Beverly.

"I don't remember."

"Wheelchair"

While I sat in the reception area of my doctor's
office, a woman rolled an elderly man in a
wheelchair into the room. As she went to the
receptionist's desk, the man sat there, alone
and silent.

Just as I was thinking I should make small talk
with him, a little boy slipped off his mother's
lap and walked over to the wheelchair.

Placing his hand on the man's, he said, "I know
how you feel. My mom makes me ride in the
stroller too."

At the end of his course on mathematical methods in optimization, the professor sternly looks at his students and says: "There is one final piece of advice I'm going to give you now: Whatever you have learned in my course - never ever try to apply it to your personal lives!"
"Why?" the students ask.
"Well, some years ago, I observed my wife preparing breakfast, and I noticed that she wasted a lot of time walking back and forth in the kitchen. So, I went to work, optimized the whole procedure, and told my wife about it."
"And what happened?!"

Lipstick in Catholic School

According to a news report, a certain private Catholic school was recently faced with a unique problem.

A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom.

That was fine provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night the maintenance man would remove them; and the next day the girls would put them back.

Finally, the principal, Sister Mary, decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian, who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses).

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, Sister Mary asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.

He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.


There are teachers ... and then there are educators!

"It Could Have Been Worse..."

There once was a sheriff who, no matter what the situation,
always said, "It could have been worse" after viewing the
scene of the crime. It drove his two deputies absolutely crazy.

One day, the two deputies in the Sheriff's Office answered
an emergency call at a farmhouse. When they walked in,
they found the nude bodies of a man and a woman in the
bedroom. They both had been shot to death. When the
deputies went to the living room, they found the body of a
man with a gun at his side.

"No doubt about it," one deputy said to the other. "This was
a double murder and suicide. This guy came home and
found his wife in bed with somebody else and shot them
both. Then he shot himself."

"You're right," the other deputy replied. "Double murder and
suicide. But I'll bet you when the sheriff gets here, he's
going to say 'It could have been worse' as he always does!"

"No way. How could it be worse? There are three people
in the house, and all of them have been shot to death. It
couldn't be worse. You're on." said the first deputy.

About that time, the old sheriff arrived at the scene. He
walked into the bedroom and saw the two nude bodies.
He then walked into the living room and saw the man on
the floor with the gun by his side. "No doubt about it," the
sheriff said, shaking his head. "It was a double murder
and suicide. This guy came home and found his wife in
bed with somebody else and shot them both. Then he
shot himself."

After hesitating for a moment, the old sheriff looked his
deputies squarely in the eyes. "But, you know," he said, "it
could have been worse."      

The deputy who had lost the bet jumped up and shouted,
"Sheriff, how could it have been worse? There are three
people in this farmhouse, and all three of them are dead.
It couldn't have been worse!!"

"Yes it could," the sheriff retorted. "You see that guy there
on the floor? If he had come home yesterday, that would
be me in there in that bed!"
