An air traffic control tower suddenly lost
communication with a small twin engine aircraft.
A moment later the tower land line rang and was
answered by one of the employees.
An old pal of the Pilot’s, whom was a passenger,
was riding shotgun since the Co-Pilot called in ill .
He contacted the Tower and yelled,; “Mayday,
mayday!! The Pilot of this aircraft had an instant and
fatal heart attack. I grabbed his cell phone and as I
hoped, he had the Tow er on his speed dial memory.
I am flying upside down at 18,000 feet and traveling
at 180 mph. Mayday, mayday!!”
The employee in the tower had put him on speaker
phone immediately. “Calm down, we acknowledge
you and we’ll guide you down after a few questions.
The first thing is not to panic, remain calm. He began
his series of questions:
Tower: “How do you know you are traveling at
18,000 feet??”
Aircraft: “I can see that it reads 18,000 feet on
the Altimeter dial in front of me.”
Tower: “Okay, that’s good, remain calm. How do
you know you’re traveling at 180 mph?”
Aircraft: “I can see that it reads 180 mph on the
Airspeed dial in front of me.”
Tower: “Okay, this is great so far, but it’s heavily
overcast, so how do you know you’re flying upside
down?”
Aircraft: “The sh*t in my pants is running out of
my shirt collar.”

“Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy,
but thrilling idea!”
A police officer sitting in the next booth heard
their conversation and, having a chuckle to himself,
he thinks to himself, I’ve got to see these two old-
timers having sex against a fence. I’ll just keep an
eye on them so there’s no trouble. So he follows
them.
The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning
on each other for support aided by walking sticks.
Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make
their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt and
the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against
the fence, the old man moves in. Then suddenly they
erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman
has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes
while both are making loud noises and moaning and
screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on
the ground.
The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has
learned something about life and old age that he
didn’t know existed.
After about half an hour of lying on the ground
recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and
put their clothes back on. The policeman, is still
watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing,
I’ve got to ask them what’s their secret?
So, as the couple passes, he says to them,
“Excuse me, but that was something else. You
must’ve had a fantastic sex life together. Is there

tavern where you leaned against the back fence and
Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply,
I made sweet, passionate love to you.”
“Sixty years ago that wasn’t an electric fence.”
Yes, she says, “I remember it fondly.”
OK, he says, “How about taking a stroll around
