Title: NEW CONTEST !!
Post by: Mike on July 31, 2006, 06:40:04 PM
Hi Everybody!
Let’s have another contest!
I was sharing funny pictures with my friend Mary who flies “Jumper 25”, one of the Twin Otters for the Smoke Jumpers. She showed me this picture which looks like a Chicken Wings cartoon. It’s a real picture of a real adventure but I will leave out the details for the sake of this contest. You just can’t help but wonder what happened, right?!
Here’s the contest! Let’s see your funny lines again!
What we want to see is: What is this guy saying on the phone?
Here is how it will go down: Stef and I will pick the line we think is the funniest and most original and the winner will receive a surprise Chicken Wings t-shirt that is not in our online shop yet at the end of August. We’ll keep this contest running until August 15th so make sure to write us a funny line!

From the maintenance world: "Your plane will be ready by 2 o'clock."
Ok so I "borrowed" the line from the "Greatest Lies in Aviation!" thread... but I thought it was good.

"No, I can't make the scheduled take off boss. The plane has a problem with assymetric lift and thrust."
“No, I didn't crash. I simply relocated the aircraft with extreme prejudice because of a total loss of the thrust and lift functions.” (from "Howling Mad" Murdock of the A-team)
"Yeah the surly bonds didn't like being slipped today....and the wings definitely weren't laughing..."
"San Jose we have a problem."

Just though of a few more:

"Honey, I was flying along and I got this really great idea for a novelty restaurant"

“Hi boss. Do you still have the number of this e-bay guy?”
“The tail number is correct, but the plane doesn’t fit to the picture in the advert.”
“Boss, you can trust me if I tell you there is no need to look at the life limit lists of this offered plane.”
“Boss, hope you didn’t transfer the money, did you?”
“Are you sure I should pick up this plane?”

"Chuck ... please, remove your sunglasses before night strip !"
"Chuck ? Hans speaking ... well, when I say ASAP, it means As Soon As Possible ... not A Silly Approach Performance !"
"Chuck ? Hans speaking ... I want to precise you : half plane at the apron equal to half pay this year !"
"Chuck, Julio ? Hans speaking, well I've found a quite new plane for our fleet but I must hesitate ... she isn't red !"
"Oshkosh Tower ? I had radio trouble during the approach, so I'm using my spare radio now." ... "Chuck, Is that you ?"

"No Hans ... it wasn't a bird strike, just a phone strike"
"Well Boss, If you are considering a perfect landing allows to re-use the plane, I think I can say that It was a good landing"

Hans, Chuck here. Do we really need a twin otter? Single engine Otter have a good payload and best fuel economy you know. Now get Julio on the phone, there is a tendency to turn left on our Otter.

Chuck: Juilo… I am starting to doubt the theory that “duck tape” fixes EVERYTHING…
Julio: well Hans, first half of the Pre-buy inspection went great….were still waiting for the second half of the airplane though.
Chuck: Mr. Ron White, to confirm your theory, we did lose an engine, it did take us all the way to the scene of the crash, and I have beaten the paramedics here by about 30 min….
Chuck: Hello… Is his Jimbos’ Towing, Aircraft Repair And Hair Care Salon…..?

“... but what makes me really mad is that they did not support the right hand wing!!!”
“…uh, well, could you please be so kind and tell me when you’ve planed to deliver the left wing? I’ve got a flight in two hours …”
“Sir, I found that plane. But no diamonds in it any more.”
“Ah, yes Sir, we had to confiscate the left wing. Why? Well, there is something suspect…”
“You remember as I told you not to fill gasoline into those tanks? Well, everything is ok so far. The left wing is for washing now, they’ll clean all evidences of the gasoline out the tank. Next is the right wing then.”
