and on the line underneath the newspaper report:

Well, a flap from an A300 is quit some "home delivery" ;)

[Feline]

Yeah, and not to mention the technical difficulty in actually printing a newspaper on the flap of an airplane!

I'll get me hat!

It always happens in America do the aircraft need a little T.L.C. so nothing falls off???

At least it wasn't composite nor from a Canadian bird... :eek:

I see that the article mentions that the lady driving the car was a "member of an adult tap-dancing group"; Is it just me, or does this imply something smutty?

[Feline]

-- it's not smutty at all, but a highly specialised form of dancing found primarily in the Great American Heartland (where there's nothing much else to do). Beginners normally start on a Bath Tap, and, as they get more skilful, progress to a Basin Tap (which is smaller). The curious thing is that the Americans usually refer to a tap as a faucet, so why in this instant they called it "Tap Dancing" I really do not know ...

:confused:

:ok:

In Toronto? :rolleyes:

...and YES, there are taps in Canada: Molson, Labatt, Moosehead...

[Feline]

Oh Sherbert! Yes, that was bit dumb wasn't it? :uhoh:

Please apply errata #1
Amend "Great American Heartland" in first line to read "Great North American Heartland"

and apply errata #2
Amend "Americans" in third line to read "Americans & Canadians"

Now -- that makes it right - doesn't it? :ok:


(Anyone else remember amending Confidential Books by sticking little strips of paper over incorrect text? I can remember having to amend "sh1t" to "shot" throughout a 100 page manual - it was funny for the first three pages ...)

Getting back to the original thread, Aero Trades Western, long defunct, lost a wheel from its DC-3 over Winnipeg back in 1982. It landed on the roof of a house.:ugh:
