- Top Secret -
You've all heard of the Air Force's ultra-high-security,
super-secret base in Nevada; known, simply, as "Area 51?"
Well, late one afternoon, the Air Force folks (out at Area 51)
were very surprised to see a Cessna landing at their "secret" base.
They, immediately, impounded the aircraft and hauled the pilot into an
interrogation room.
The pilot's story was that he took off from Vegas, got lost, and
spotted the Base just as he was about to run out of fuel. The Air
Force started a full FBI background check on the pilot and held him
overnight, during the investigation.
By the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot really
was lost and wasn't a spy. They gassed up his airplane, gave him a
terrifying "you-did-not-see-a-base" briefing (complete with threats of
spending the rest of his life in prison), told him Vegas was
that-a-way on such-and-such a heading, and sent him on his way.
The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force, the same
Cessna showed up, again!
Once again, the MP's surrounded the plane. Only, this time, there
were two people in the plane.
The same pilot jumped out and said, "Do anything you want to me.
But, my wife is in the plane and you have to tell her where I was last
night!"
