      Obviously they were toking it up.

          They were having a heated discussion. Or so they said.

                      Wow is right! I'll see if I cant get the skinny on this tomorrow at work.

                      What about that Atlanta flight landing on the taxiway instead of the runway? Holy shit!

                                  Interesting read - how about "any landing is a good landing"?

                                      yeah, that one had me laughing for some reason but it isn't a laughing matter.

                                      Those guys saying they were having an interesting conversation is pretty damn hilarious though. I'd say keep your day job but I'm sure they are getting fired...

                                              Yeah, but I wasn't sleeping behind the wheel. Just stoned!

                                              PS: Don't those new Mercedes wake you up if you fall asleep? How the hell does that work?

                                                  In the pilots' defense, if you're traveling at 500+mph, it doesn't take long at all to travel 150 miles. Still, it does make me wonder what--exactly--were they doing for those 15 minutes?

                                                      I remember a few years back where two elderly women somehow missing there exit and driving onto a runway....crazy

                                                          that's a weak-ass defense...
