Blond landing


As they approached the airport runway, the tower heard:

BLOND PILOT – Gee will you look at how bloody short that runway is?

BLOND CO-PILOT – No kiddin’, man

BLOND PILOT – This is going to be one of the trickiest landings ever!

BLOND CO-PILOT - No kiddin’, man!!

BLOND PILOT - Right, when I say 'go' put the engine in reverse!!

BLOND CO-PILOT - Right, I'll do that!!

BLOND PILOT - An then put the flaps down!!

BLOND CO-PILOT - Right, I'll do that too!!

BLOND PILOT – And then stomp on the brakes as hard as you can and pray to the Holy Mother of God!!!

BLOND CO-PILOT - I'm praying already, but I'll hit the brakes as hard as I can.

So, as the wheels hit the ground, the co-pilot put the engines in reverse, puts the flaps down, stamped on the brakes and continued to pray to the Holy Mother with all his soul. The brakes screeched, the tyres squealed, and there was smoke everywhere, but, to the relief of all the passengers, and, not least of all, the pilot and co-pilot, the aircraft came to a stop but a few metres from the end of the runway!!!

As the pilot and co-pilot sat in the cockpit regaining some composure, the co-pilot looked out of the window and said to the pilot, "That has got to be the shortest bloody runway in the world!"

The pilot replied, "Yes, but do you see how bloody wide it is?"
