Thirty years ago, when the Air Force needed a large cargo plane, it
put out a list of specifications that took up less than 8 pages.
Lockheed responded with a proposal 3/4 thick, which resulted in
a huge plane named the Hercules. In 1980, when the Air Force needed
a new cargo plane, it issued specifications that took up 2,750 pages.
Lockheeds proposal alone weighed 6,600 pounds. To deliver it, the
company used one of the old Hercules cargo planes.

Mr. Weissenblat, a middle-aged meek Jew, is on a plane for Israel, in a window
seat. Just before take-off, this HUGE Arab wearing a beautiful gaudy multi-
coloured gown walks up and sits down beside him. A few minutes later, the
plane takes off.
All is well. For a while. But then, Mr. Weissenblat realizes that he has to go
to the washroom. That wouldnt be a problem, but he looks over and notices that
the Arab beside him is sound asleep, and Mr. Weissenblat, being a meek man is
afraid to disturb him. So he figures hell hold it in till the Arab wakes up.
But as luck would have it, the Arab just keeps snoring away, and Mr. Weiseenbalt
is feeling increasingly more uncomfortable. After a while, he starts to feel
nauseous as well, what from holding it in combined with the plane ride. He
tries and tries to hold it in, but then AAARRGGHH!!–he throws up all over
the Arab and his beautiful garment. He thinks, Oh, no! Now hes gonna kill
me! and sits there in apprehension waiting for the Arab to wake up.
Finally, the Arab wakes up, and finds all this vomit all over him.
Mr. Weissenblat says to him, Well, do you fell better now?
It is not Lettermans – but hey I think I did a good job?

A farmer and his wife went to a fair. The farmer was fascinated by the airplanes and asked a pilot how much a ride would cost.
$10 for 3 minutes, replied the pilot.
Thats too much, said the farmer.
The pilot thought for a second and then said, Ill make you a deal. If you and your wife ride for 3 minutes without uttering a sound, the ride will be free. But if you make a sound, youll have to pay $10.
The farmer and his wife agreed and went for a wild ride. After they landed, the pilot said to the farmer, I want to congratulate you for not making a sound. You are a brave man.
Maybe so, said the farmer, But I gotta tell ya, I almost screamed when my wife fell out.
