A military cargo plane, flying over a
populated area, suddenly loses power and starts to nose down. The pilot
tries
to pull up, but with all their cargo, the plane is too heavy.
So he
yells to the soldiers in back to throw things out to make the
plane
lighter. They throw out a pistol. „Throw out more!“ shouts
the pilot. So
they throw out a rifle. „More!“ he cries again. They
heave out a
missile, and the pilot regains control.
He pulls
out of the dive and lands safely at an airport. They get into
a jeep
and drive off. Pretty soon they meet a boy on the side of the
road
who’s crying. They ask him why he’s crying and he says „A pistol
hit me on the head!“
They drive more and meet another boy who’s
crying even harder. Again
they ask why and the boy says, „A rifle
hit me on the head!“
They apologize and keep driving. They meet a
boy on the sidewalk who’s
laughing hysterically. They ask h
im, „Kid, what’s so funny?“ The boy
replies, „I sneezed and a
house blew up!“
