You've all heard of the Air Force's ultra high
security, super-secret base in Nevada,
known simply as "Area 51?"
Well, late one afternoon, the Air Force folks out at
Area 51 were very surprised to see a Cessna landing at
their "secret" base. They immediately impounded the
aircraft and hauled the pilot into an interrogation
room.
The pilot's story was that he took off from Las Vegas,
got lost, and spotted the Base just as he was about to
run out of fuel. The Air Force started a full FBI
background check on the pilot and held him overnight
during the investigation. By the next day, they were
finally convinced that the pilot really was lost and
wasn't a spy. They gassed up his airplane, gave him
a terrifying "you-did-not-see-a-base" briefing,
complete with threats of spending the rest of his life
in prison, told him Las Vegas was that-a-way on
such-and-such a heading, and sent him on his way.
The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force,
the same Cessna showed up again. Once again, the MP's
surrounded the plane... only this time there were two
people in the plane.
The same pilot jumped out and said, "Do anything you
want to me, but my wife is in the plane and you have
to tell her where I was last night!"
