Ready for Take Off?

Post by JohnWillimas »

George was doing a walk around check on his Auster before climbing in for a short cross-country trip. As he checked the undercart his eyes were drawn to a box of Cadbury's Milk Tray wedged in front of the wheel. He looked around to the other side and there, just as puzzling, was a box of Black Magic. He was standing there with a puzzled look on his face when a mechanic wandered out from the hangar.

"Awright?" the mechanic asked.

"Yes," said George, pointing down, "but I'm a bit puzzled by these."

"Oh," said the mechanic, "its a new idea we're using. Don't worry about it. You just climb in and when you're ready to go, all you have to do is shout."

"Shout? Shout what?"

"Chocs away!"

If that was me, I'd have eaten the chocolate before asking any questions!
Cheers, Mike.
