A PILOT GETS HOME LATE…

Post by cessna170bdriver »

He left home about 8:30 a.m. to do some work in his hanger at the airport with his friends. On the way out the door he answered his wife's "what time will you be home?" question with "probably about 1:30, I'll have lunch at the airport."

1:30 came & went, 3:00 passed, 6:15, still not home, finally at about 7:00 pm he rolls in the driveway, and presents his wife with a pizza, and begins the apologetic story:

“I finished cleaning the plane about 11:30, had lunch, and I started home, when alongside the road I saw this attractive girl with a flat tire on her car. I stopped to help, got the tire changed, and looked around for a place to wash my hands. She offered money, but I refused, so she suggested that I at least allow her to buy me a beer. She said there's a tavern just up the road, and they have a restroom, you can clean up a bit. I agreed to stop, we had a beer, then another beer, then a couple more, and I realized that this girl was not only pretty, she was very friendly, and a good companion to spend time with. Before I knew it, we were having a rendezvous in the motel next door. And that is why I am so late getting home.”

His wife looked him right in the eye and said "Don't lie to me; you went flying, didn’t you?

If I would've said "about 1:30, I'll have lunch at airport", mine would have brought me lunch at the airport :D

I recently bought a project plane 100 KM from my home base and I had been wondering how to tow the fuselage back home. A friend mentioned my dilemma to a pal of his and before I knew it two nights ago I was in his pals truck on my way to get it. My friend mentioned that he was in his pals wife's bad books because he was getting his pal out to either go flying or involved in retrieving aircraft. On the way out to the plane I wanted to ensure i could reimburse these guys for their efforts so I asked what I owed them. My friend said all I had to do was sleep with his pal's wife! I thought was pretty funny until I later asked what I owed again and his pal said I thought we had a deal!!!!

I read this and said, "someone has been watching us at the airport". When I got to the last line I said, "I know they are watching us now".
