Four old timers were playing their weekly game of golf, one remarked how nice it would be to wake up on Christmas morning, roll out of bed and without an argument go directly to the golf course, meet his buddies and play a round.
His buddies all chimed in said, “Let’s do it!
We’ll make it a priority; figure out a way and meet here early, Christmas morning.”
Months later, that special morning arrives, and there they are on the golf course.
The first guy says, “Boy this game cost me a fortune! bought my wife a diamond ring that she can’t take her eyes off of.”
The second guy says, “! spent a ton too. My wife is at home planning the cruise I gave her. She was up to her eyeballs in brochures.”
The third guy says “Well my wife is at home admiring her new car, reading the manual.”
They all turned to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds.”I can’t believe you all went to such expense for this golf game. I slapped my wife on the bum and said, ‘Well babe, Merry Christmas! It’s a great morning – intercöurse or golf course –‘She said, “Don’t forget your hat.”
A flight crew was coming in to land at an unfamiliar airport.
As they lined up on final approach, the pilot squinted out the window.
Pilot: “Does that runway look short to you?”
Co-pilot: “Yeah… definitely shorter than expected.”
Pilot: “I was sure it was supposed to be longer than that.”
Co-pilot: “Same here. You sure we’re at the right place?”
The tension grew as they got closer.
Pilot: “Alright—full flaps.”
Co-pilot: “Full flaps set.”
Pilot: “Be ready with the thrust reversers the moment we touch down.”
Co-pilot: “Standing by.”
Pilot: “And I mean full brakes the second we’re on the ground!”
Co-pilot: “Copy that.”
They came in hot but steady. The wheels touched down hard, brakes locked up, thrust reversers roaring—rubber screeched—and they came to a halt just barely before the end of the runway.
Pilot: “Man, that was tight. Definitely one of the shortest runways I’ve ever landed on.”
Co-pilot: : “Yeah, no kidding…” pauses
“…But you gotta admit—it’s the widest one we’ve ever seen!”
