Were she to lean her head back and open her mouth, she too would achieve axial flow.

It was a difficult decision for Betty, let go with one hand and reach into her handbag to get her mirror to allow her to check her hair or get her lipstick out and attempt to refresh it without a mirror.

Lucy was desperate to date the First Officer. Little did she know he was the Captain’s wife.

Shamelessly lifted from Friday Jokes

A blonde calls Delta Airlines and asks, 'Can you tell me how long it'll
take to fly from San Francisco to New York City ?'

The agent replies, 'Just a minute.'

'Thank you,' the blonde says, and hangs up.

In the midst of this scenario, she still thought “Does my bum look big in this?”

There was a young lady from Dorking
Who thought she would try that ‘wing walking’
Her first brave attempt
Led to rapid descent
And the mess that she made they're still shovelling..

Talking Judge Not - Lest Thee Be Judged!


Fat Girl Not Included

This was a particularly difficult sequence to judge: each entry was even more amusing than its predecessor.

First, one acknowledges the kind beckoning of Kiltrash, who kindly gave his invitation to post a shot of something that the crew here assembled might find amusing. Clear Skies, plenty of fuel and altitude, and a cornucopia of ideas for you, Good Sir!

I can only wish that my flesh-and-blood friends could be as funny as my interwebby pilot friends! Here we found entries sans pareil by the usual suspects: Nutloose, SATCOS WHIPPING BOY, Dan Gerous, SASless, andytug, Wensleydale, c52, Danny42C, Kiltrash, and MPN11, who receives extra credit for his attempt to rhyme “shoveling” with “walking” in his poetic and ultra-amusing late entry. Each of you could have a career as a standup comedian should you so choose! Yet...

Having been reduced to laughter-induced tears and subsequent quadruplegia, I turned to my loverly Bride, Christine, to place the Laurel of Victory upon the Victor’s substantial cranium. (One must be, by nature, possessed of an immense cerebral vault to come up with such commedia del arte.) Though she bypassed several potentially misogynistic entries which I found highly guffawable - I find that the female of the species is misandrous - plus I should like to sleep in the bed tonight, I concurred with her award.

Thusly, without further adieu, with “Looking out of the cabin window, Geoffrey quietly smiled that his cunning plan to avoid paying the new carry on baggage charge seemed to be working.” Courtesy of ShyTorque.

Each of you shall receive a Coffman Starter Cartridge for your superb contributions, but The Bashful Torsional One gets the Hallowed Trophy, on its way, strapped with innumerable rounds of black nasty to a GEnX monster, which sucks, squeezes, bangs, and blows, which is where my sick mind was going with a caption...

Oh! Is that my Uber ride already?

- Ed

Cavuman, many thanks, winning was totally unexpected.
Sorry, I hadn't even prepared a speech...I'd like to thank...etc, etc.
That was a cracking image, by the way, ideal for the caption contest job!

However, having recently suffered a total PC meltdown I've had to have my HDD wiped and system rebuilt from scratch so I'm still in the process of recovering lost photos. I suspect I might have posted this one before but it must have been a while back. Hopefully it will display properly:

Not a Caption. Glad to have made the short-list. I shall be absent for the next week of so, as the warmth of Valletta beckons. Up to 32ºC today, IIRC, so much cooling wine will be needed! Dinner table booked already

However, I shall depart with ...

"Goodbye, Chris Evans."

Hank slowly realised why the advert in the recruiting office had said that the Army was looking for men of the right calibre.

MPN11 - not a caption either - thank God. A guy more up his own @rse does not exist - IMHO. Good riddance, less likely to listen to Virgin Radio than Beeb R2
