Tired of the inconvenience of driving from the airport to his country cottage,
a man equipped his small plane with pontoons so he could land on the lake
directly in front of his cottage. On his next trip however, he made his approach
down the airport runway as usual.
Alarmed, his wife cried out, "Are you crazy? You can't land this plane here
without wheels!" The startled husband yanked the nose up, narrowly averting
certain disaster.
Continuing home, he landed the plane on the lake without mishap. As he sat there,
visibly shaken, he said to his wife, "I don't know what on earth got into me.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life!"
And with that, he opened the door and stepped out... right into the water.

Thanks, I needed that this morning!

Not to tell tales.... at one time, my folks had a camp on a lake. Our next door neighbor, who's moods ran hot & cold, owned an airplane equipped with pontoons. I just emailed my siblings, asking them how much they would have paid to see this happen to our neighbor! Rotten thought, I know, but...

Funny how our brains 'don't' work sometimes.

Now THAT's funny! :lol: :lol:

My husband's uncle had his own plane and one winter day he decided that he wanted to go some where, but engines were frozen.... yeah you got it - he stared a fire under the engines and of course the plane went up in flames. Don't think he ever lived that down.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

So funny. Thanks for the laughs.
