Re: Grounded [QF] passengers in limbo

Oy, reading these last few posts has been akin to waterboarding!

Hmm, now which one of us regularly lands an aircraft on a small metal deck in the middle of the sea? Navy? That's the colour of the Dockers I was wearing the earlier in the week.

Now back on topic (for an aircraft that has run out of water, perhaps). A Navy and an Air Force officer go to the head at the same time. The Air Force officer finishes his business and turns to leave without washing his hands. The Navy officer calls out to him and says "In the Navy they teach us to be hygienic and to wash our hands after urinating". The Air Force officer calls back "In my training they taught us not to pee on our hands".
