Was there a guy on the front porch playing a banjo?

If so, you were in the wrong story.

I landed at a residential airstrip once and asked for a Diet Coke but all
they had was Diet Pepsi.

WA light (aka 18)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have been contacted by a television production company creating a

series
on adventure sports. They were very impressed with the crappy media I

gave
them about soaring and would like to include an "expedition" if we can

meet
their parameters.

It is Friday afternoon and I have until Monday to come up with

something.

So, put on your thinking hats: Do you know of an expedition (they call

it)
conducted with a sailplane that went wrong and resulted in a survival
situation? It will be re-enacted. I have the actors. I have the

sailplanes.
I will get the camera ship.

I need the story.

This will not be someone losing their yaw string and having to hitchhike

to
a dress shop. It will not be JJ landing at a whorehouse with no money on
him. We are talking SURVIVAL. They will probably want to shoot in the US

but
I did not ask if the story had to be an American story.

I wish I was getting paid but I am not. On the other hand, the actors

will.

So either come up with an adventure or go out this weekend, land out in

a
frozen wasteland, survive by eating your parachute, hike out to
civilization, loose two fingers to frostbite and come home a wiser man

or
woman. (Do women get wiser or is that just they are?)

Thank you. And be quick.
