What Time Is It?

Posted on by

On some air bases the military is on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle.

One day the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, “What time is it?”

The tower responded, “Who is calling?”

The aircraft replied, “What difference does it make?”

The tower replied, “It makes a lot of difference.
If you’re a United Airlines Flight, it’s 3 o’clock.
If you’re an Air Force flight, it’s 1500.
If you’re a Navy flight, it’s 6 bells.
If you’re an Army flight, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3.
If you’re a Marine Corps flight, it’s Thursday afternoon.”

The Blond Passenger

Airport Security alerted an airline crew to keep an eye a blond passenger who appeared excessively nervous and shifty-eyed. Soon after takeoff, the blond man called a stewardess to his seat and said, “I have a live grenade in my pocket. I’ll blow up the plane if you do not divert to Cairo.”

Perplexed, the stewardess said, “But, sir. This is TWA flight 1219 to Cairo.”

“Damn!” replied the blond passenger, “I got on the wrong plane.”
