"We're being pulled over, act normal!"

This is a very 'reader's digest' version this week...ran short on time to make a full composition....


Look at what's happened to me,


I can't believe it myself;
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,


Should've been somebody else.

Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,


I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?


Believe it or not, it's just me.

...and speaking of 'flying high'....
It's Time for Trash Talk!---

SAN FRANCISCO - As Air Force One sat on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport this morning, the North American Aerospace Defense Command scrambled two F-16 fighter jets to intercept a small private plane that had invaded the airspace. The disturbance occurred just minutes before President O was scheduled to depart for San Francisco. His plane ultimately took off at 11:40 a.m. PST without incident. The jets intercepted the general aviation plane - a Cessna 182 - just before 11:30 a.m. PST, according to a statement from NORAD. It was soon forced to land at Long Beach Airport and met by local law enforcement officials and the U.S. Secret Service, agency spokesman Brian L told ABC News. Agents interviewed the pilots before they were turned over to the Long Beach Police Department and arrested, an official said. "We determined the incursion of restricted airspace was of no protective interest," said L. In other words, no intended threat to the president. But the pilot was in possession of narcotics, the Secret Service said. One law enforcement source told ABC the plane was carrying 40 pounds of marijuana.



...and the best part - the comments:

David posted: Nothing ruins a mile high buzz worse than an F 16.

OldGoat posted: That is too funny. Two stoners bopping around with 40 pounds of weed onboard not only run into a cop, they run into friggin' NORAD! So for you gamblers out there, what are the odds for a dust up between (1) one single-engine, propeller-driven Cessna piloted by Cheech and Chong, and (2) two F-16s piloted by career Air Force officers with an attitude? THEN, they get met on the ground by the SECRET SERVICE, also with an attitude. By the time they met up with LAPD they must have felt grateful to just have to deal with the local cops.

adam posted: dude, this is some good #$%$. I took one hit and i swear I'm seeing fighter jets out there...

Flareside posted: The pilot should have just throttled back to 100 knots and let the F-16s try and match his speed. :)


...and the last one today:
