Driver Crashes after seeing UFO

A driver who claimed UFOs caused him to crash later admitted he was distracted by beer mats being thrown by children. German police were convinced the 19-year-old had been drinking when he claimed to have seen UFOs prior to crashing. But after he gave a negative breath test they discovered beer mats on the road. The teenage driver from Warstein, Germany caused nearly £3,000 worth of damage to his car and another vehicle. He admitted the beer mats could have been the 'flying saucers' which distracted him and he was allowed to go home.

We ain't done crashing yet

A Cobra helicopter practicing auto rotations during a military night training exercise had a problem and landed on the tail rotor, separating the tail boom. Fortunately, it wound up on its skids, sliding down the runway doing 360s in a brilliant shower of sparks. As the Cobra passed the tower, the following exchange was overheard:

Tower: "Sir, do you need any assistance?"
Cobra: "I don't know, tower. We ain't done crashin' yet."

Give me four thousand dollars worth

The controller working a busy pattern told the 727 on downwind to make a three-sixty (do a complete circle, usually to provide spacing between aircraft). The pilot of the 727 complained, "Do you know it costs us two thousand dollars to make a three-sixty in this airplane?" Without missing a beat the controller replied, "Roger, give me four thousand dollars worth."

Notify the Caterers

Tower: "American 702 heavy, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124.7."
American 702: "Tower, American 702 heavy switching to Departure...by the way, as we lifted off, we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway."
Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124.7...did you copy the report from American?"
Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff...and yes, we copied American and we've already notified our caterers."
