Can Old People learn to fly?

[Walt Connelly]

Here's an old glider pilot thinking on his feet.


An older glider pilot gets pulled over for speeding...
Older pilot: Is there a problem, Officer?
Traffic Cop: Yes sir, I'm afraid you were speeding.
Older pilot: Oh, I see.
Traffic Cop: Can I see your license please?
Older pilot: Well, I would give it to you but I don't have one.
Traffic Cop: Don't have one?
Older pilot: No. I lost it 4 years ago for drunk driving.
Traffic Cop: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Older pilot: I can't do that.
Traffic Cop: Why not?
Older pilot: I stole this car.
Traffic Cop: Stole it?
Older pilot: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Traffic Cop: You what!?
Older pilot: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see.
The traffic cop looks at the old glider pilot and slowly backs away to his car while calling for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.
Officer 2: sir, could you step out of your vehicle please!
The old glider pilot steps out of his vehicle.
Older pilot: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: My colleague here tells me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.
Older pilot: Murdered the owner? Are you serious?!
Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.
The old glider pilot opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: Is this your car, sir?
Older pilot: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The traffic cop is quite stunned.
Officer 2: My colleague claims that you do not have a driving license.
The old glider pilot digs into his pocket and pulls out a license and hands it to the officer.
The officer examines the license quizzically.
Officer 2: Thank you sir, but I am puzzled, as I was told by my officer here that you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner!
Older glider pilot: Bet the lying ******* told you I was speeding, too.

Don't mess with old pilots.

Here’s the young traffic cop thinking on his feet:

The older glider pilot finished his fantastic tale while the young traffic cop calculated the massive waste of manpower and resources caused by the older glider pilot being a total jerk. The young traffic cop calmly stated “this man is resisting arrest”, pulled out his Taser and zapped the older glider pilot with 50,000 volts. The older glider pilot screamed several times and collapsed on the road, dead from a massive heart attack. The other policemen said “right on, he had it coming” and drove off.

Moral: Don’t mess with cops, they don’t suffer fools gladly.

And, that's why you're innocent until proven guilty...... psycho cops.

I'd tell the one about the Old Prospector and the Young Gun Slinger but I'm afraid some people might have a stroke.

A sense of humor is a great thing.

I liked your joke, Walt. Gave me a good laugh.
Are you still flying the 1-34 out at SLGP or have you purchased your own ship?
Anyway, thanks for the laugh.

Brian,

Still flying the 1-34 and looking for my own ship. Really would prefer something fully aerobatic as flying xcountry is not as appealing to me as looping and rolling. I had too many hours twisting thru the sky in a Citabria and Decathalon in my misspent youth and remember those days fondly.

Work makes visiting potential glider purchases somewhat difficult but someone has to pay the taxes to keep Obama happy.
