mhbraun (Matt Braun):
In the beginning, God created the earth, and he looked upon it His cosmic
loneliness.
And God said "Let us make living creatures out of mud, so mud can see
what we have done"
And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man.
Mud as man alone could speak. God leaned close as mud as man sat up,
looked around, and spoke. Man blinked "What is the purpose of all this ?"
he asked politley.
"Everything must have a purpose ?" asked God.
"Certainly" said man.
"Then I leave it to you to think of one for all this" said God.
and He went away.

This one happened to me a couple of years ago, when I was a fresh private
pilot.
I had just departed lancaster PA (LNS), and dialed up flight service to open up
my flight plan....
Williamsport FSS: "you the same N12345 that landed at LNS an hour and a half
ago?"
Me: "yes....."
FSS: "Did you remember to close your flight plan?"
Me: "uhhhh... no...., I guess I forgot."
FSS: "Well, your lucky that the tower called and closed it for you. We have a
punishment for not closing your flight plans around here."
Me: "you do???"
FSS: "Yup... we put a big X on each of your wings...."
Me: "you do?!?!?"
FSS: "Yup... with a chain saw!!!"
Me: "whoa... (finally catching on.)
He then followed up with some friendly chat.. but sure had me going for minute.
Later,
Keith
