An acquaintance of mine totalled a rather expensive piece of military hardware on its first flight. By some miracle of luck and training, he and his co-pilot got out of it pretty much intact.

He tells the story that after the inevitable immediate debrief, he went to the station's flight surgeon and asked for a blood alcohol test...


"But nobody's suggesting you've been drinking"

"No, but by tomorrow they will, and by tomorrow they'll be right".
