I Thought This Was Funny...

driving to work today, on the radio they mention that some kid... got himself into trouble...

he turned 21 either wednesday or thursday last week, and started PARTYING.... 4 DAYS of partying....

early sunday morning he broke into a small local airport, having never flown a plane in his life... managed to read the owners manual and figure out how to get them going... taxied 2 of them out to the runway for some reason, goes to get a 3rd airplane.

he stock piles the 3rd airplane with beer, manages to take flight, crashes into powerlines, falls into a mud puddle unharmed.

when the police asked him where he was going, he replied "mexico" LOL

that dude knows how to party!! although... im sure he has a few felony charges now.

Yep, it happened right here in Houston. And it is funny... until you ask yourself what if he had been an Al Qaeda terrorist with a 12 pack of smallpox or something worse instead of beer? There was no security to keep anyone from taking those planes.

Hartman, yeah ive thought about the whole terrorist thing. how a 21 year old kid on a 4 day drunk could take over 3 single engine planes with no one stopping him is a sad thing and... he coulda crashed into a families home and totaled it and killed everyone inside...

but sometimes when things just turn out ok, i think its safe to laugh about it. we cant live our whole lives under this "terrorism" cloud. lets say the kid put a banana peel on the top of the stairs and his buddy slipped and fell down it... well, imagine if Al Qeada figured out mass terrorism with bananas. does what i just said make any sense? probably not... anyways...

or like the 4 kids who stole a boat, ran it ashore, set it on fire, laughed until they realized they were on an island... thats a funny story cause no one got hurt right?

could you imagine how many offenses that is? trying to steal 2 planes, stealing a 3rd one and crashing it, breaking into an airport, drunk, flying a plane drunk without a pilots license...

hey, he could get a job flying for NWA !

i know people who do some crazy stuff but this kid gets the trophy!

I'd say he's lucky to be alive.Sounds like he may have ruined someone plane also.sounds very irresponsible to me.There are much safer ways to party without damaging someones private property.

Consequences. I hope he has some instead of blaming it on someone or something else.

LMAO!!! i just got to thinking about it.... you know when i party-PARTY ( yeah i said party twice ) sometimes i black out... and dont rememebr anything the next morning... its a viscious cycle.

anyways... if i walked out my back door, took @ 100 steps, and climbed an 8 foot fence with barb wire, im still only 40 yards from the runway of an airport, a small airport. well, big enough to fly a B-25 bomber out of, litterally. ( i think its a B-25 )

so Matt, im gonna drink a case of beer, grab a airplane and come visit ya buddy! we can have a few rounds at the bar, and go cut down some trees. itll be a fun weekend.

p.s. dont tell anyone i just said that lol
p.s.s im kidding about it. its just a joke

LoL! You are a funny guy! And that's why I like you! (Go read my post in User Announcements and Introductions entitled: "1000 Posts! (and a joke!) I mention u in there!

Anywho! I am tired of cutting trees already! I cut down 3 HUGE poplar trees yesterday and today. And 2 huge poplars on Monday and Tuesday!

Just come up here and we can change stumper teeth or sharpen saws but no cutting trees. I will even take you up in our bucket truck!

Let me know!

Wow, apparently the keys were in the planes while they sat around waiting to get stolen. Let's see, FUI (flying under the influence of alchohol), grand theft, breaking and entering, vandalization of property, destruction of property, endangering innocent people's lives......... Sounds like another well rounded child raised with solid values and ready to mingle with society!
