Martin Harris - Moderator Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Reminds me of the urgent air delivery of gearbox parts from the factory to the UK in the late 60s when early imports were suffering from multiple transmission failures. As they neared the UK, they suffered a double engine failure and the heavily laden aircraft was unable to maintain height on the remaining engines. The pilots calculated that they could probably reach Norwich Airport if they ditched part of the load and they threw out the heavy boxes of gearbox parts over the North Sea. Down below the 8/8 cloud layer, the only witnesses were the crew of a fishing boat out from Lowestoft. The mate turned to the captain and said, "Strewth Bob, it's raining Datsun cogs today."

However it was said that on a quiet day you could hear them rusting. Now I know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cymaz Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 An older gentleman was on the operating table awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation. As he was about to get the anesthesia, he asked to speak to his son. "Yes, Dad, what is it?" "Don't be nervous, son; do your best, and just remember, if it doesn't go well, if something happens to me, your mother is going to come and live with you and your wife."

Daithi O Buitigh Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 A friend of mine made a similar remark about the jeans to his spouse - she looked at him and said "After that I hope to find something in the garage that will go from zero to 100 in under 60 seconds" He's still in hospital after she found the bathroom scales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
