| United State Air Force has a high security, super secret base in Nevada, known simply as "Area 51?" One afternoon, a Cessna landed at this "secret" base. The aircraft was immediately impounded and the pilot was interrogated. The pilot's story was that - he took off from Vegas, got lost & spotted the Base just as he was about to run out of fuel. The Air Force started a full FBI background check on the pilot & held him overnight during the investigation. By the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot really was lost & wasn't a spy. They are fueled his airplane, threatened him that if he lands again he would spend the rest of his life in prison, and let him go. The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force personnel, the same Cessna landed there again. Once again, the MP's surrounded the plane... only this time there were two people in the plane. The same pilot jumped out & said, "Do anything you want to me, but my wife is in the plane and you have to tell her where I was last night!" |
| It was during the World War II. The army transport was several days out of New York, and running without lights in the submarine zone. Some of the fellows were having a little sociable game of poker. In the midst of some friendly kicking and re-kicking, there was a mighty impact against the boat. All was quiet for a moment and then a voice rang out: "We Are Torpedoed!" All the card players but one jumped to their feet. "Hold on, fellows !" shouted the one who remained seated. "You cannot leave me now, I've got four Aces !!!" |
| The soldier asked for a furlough, so that he might get married. "How long have you known the Girl?" His superior asked. "A Week." "Why, my lad, that is hardly long enough. I suggest that you wait a couple of months, and then, if you still want to get married, I shall grant you a furlough." In two months the soldier was back, reminding his superior of his promise. "So you still want to get married? My, My ! I did not suppose that a young man would stay interested in the same girl for such a long time nowadays." "I know, sir. But it is not the same girl, sir." |
| On some Air bases the Air Force is on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle. One day the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, "What time is it?" The tower responded, "Who is calling?" The aircraft replied, "What difference does it make?" The tower replied, "It makes a lot of difference... If it's a commercial flight, it is 3 o'clock. If it's an Air Force plane, it is 1500 hours. If it's a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells. If it's an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3. If it is a Marine Corps aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon and 120 minutes to 'Happy Hour.'" |
