Bloggs's desperate sign language attempts to convey to the bloke with the grounding wire that he'd not realised that the woman in question was his missus were a marvel to behold. Shockingly (for Bloggs) they did not succeed.

A little-known fact, but what is now known as the 'Lynx Effect' was originally developed for Cold War military uses.

A normal 'wedgie' is painful enough for anyone, but to become part of the team, all new aircrew must undergo a 'supersize endurance wedgie' - the ceremony may end in only one of two ways -

1. The Wasp runs out of fuel.
or
2. Catastrophic failure of the underwear.

King of wedgie endurance, Capt Splitring, adjudicates from the bridge.

Over dinner the previous night the CO had asked the Wasp crew about their involvement in his visit to the near-by USS Arnold Schwarzenegger...
In a port-induced misunderstanding he'd assumed their warning about "getting swept off your feet with a slight yank" referred to the calibre of female crew members aboard USN ships.

"Trumpet Trousers" was eventually allowed back into the aircraft after he had deflated his immersion suit and promised never again to threaten to try his cigarette lighter party trick in flight.

And the winners are:

Highly Commended:

WEBF for:

"So this is fly by wire......."

and An Teallach for:

"Michael Flately exhausts yet another partner in his round the world Irish dancing record attempt."

But this week's caption comp. champ is:

Bosseyed for:

"Right, when I dunk you in the Oggin, you shout "Ping" as loud as you can..."

Yes AA, totally agree, Bosseyed's caption was unbeatable.

Blimey!

I'd like to thank my Mum, Dad, Dog, Neighbour, Neighbour's Dog, Neighbour's Dog's Mum & Dad...

Oh, and apologies to Oggin Aviator; didn't see you there. Hope the swelling goes down soon.

Now, what shall I use as my contribution...

Oh, given my sophisticated sense of humour it's gotta be this, I think:




Can't see? Look closer!

The Nav wondered how the pilot had smuggled a sheep into the cockpit, but at this point was almost afraid to ask.

A mid-flight change into a morning suit had sounded a great jape in the crewroom but it all turned sour when he dropped his cufflinks

or

They'd been arguing for the whole flight about whether auto-fellatio was actually possible or not. Eventually, losing his patience, the pilot graphically demonstrated that indeed one did not need the lower rib removed to manage it!

or

It was a slight comfort to the Nav that at least he was on oxygen however, his main worry now was maintaining positive G for the rest of the sortie whilst holding the soil bucket.
