Should have went to SpecSavers
 
So out bimbling around the east of Scotland on this beautiful day and decided to land at Fife airport for a cappuccino, I belly up to the bar and place my order and noticed that they had put a large jar of Quality Street chocolates next to the pilot sign in book which i thought was damned decent of them,after rifling thru the jar and wolfing down more than a few of my favorites I could not help but notice the atrocious penmanship and sloppiness of the entries in the landing sign-in sheet, I thought to myself what a shower or uneducated bastards my fellow pilots must be, still waiting for my coffee I stuck on my glasses and proceed to sign in , then noticed the heading on the sheet said "Guess how many sweeties are in the jar" followed by a bunch of primary school contest entrants signatures , I quickly got my coffee and hightailed out the door feeling somewhat guilty I had just queered the contest by being a half blind greedy guts.

After the mistaking a black and white sheep dog for a deer incident, nothing surprises me

Fantastic! At least you didn't end up on the flight deck of a carrier having mistaken it for a ferry..!!

In an office I once worked in we had a cardboard cut out of an Aer Lingus stewardess. She can't have been more than four feet tall and her base had been damaged so that she leaned at an angle slightly more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. She had a fierce moustache pencilled on her upper lip and it was hard to imagine anything less lifelike.
Her lack of authenticity did not stop an elderly lady from walking up to her and asking her for a train timetable. I stepped forward and offered to fetch the timetable, at which she rounded on me with : "I wasn't addressing you, young man, I was talking to this young lady and I'm sure she is quite capable of finding me a timetable."

If I'd known that I would have thought twice about parking in front of you at the fuel pumps today!

The Vis was perfect on the way in wasn't it ;)

Should have gone........

No airpolice - it's a deliberately badly written title for humorous purposes. Think Ernie Wise and his plays "wot he wrote" :)

Not aviation related but:
A friend recently went into his club and, whilst awaiting his tipple, tossed a slack handful of 'nuts' into his mouth which he found in a bowl on the bar. As he struggled to chew them the barman pointed out that the bowl was there for the purpose of spitting olive pits into. Yeurgh!

No such thing as a free lunch...
 
... or so the economists say. So if it's a freebie, take a closer look!

Made my day, too! :D

ETOPS - Are you sure it's not just Scottish dialect? They have a very odd way with English (and, often, the English) you know.

Thanks for reminding me - I'm married to a woman from Paisley, and I have the scars to prove it :ouch:

I was walking through a small village in Surrey yesterday on my way to have tea with friends. On the other side of the street I saw : "THE VILLAGE BAKERS". Having crossed the road and about to walk in to get a cake for tea I realised it was the ........................
