The Adventures of Haji and Muji: First Flight
2008-05-29
With apologies to GolfBravoUSMC, and a hat tip to Small Dead Animals
Hello boss, this is Muji. Haji can't come to the phone right now, he's got his hands full. What? Oh, his hands are full of shards of glass, fragments of plastic, and the doctors say they can't remove the throttle cable until the burns heal a bit more.

Boss, I gotta tell you, these Infidel aircraft are tricky. Somebody at Airbus infiltrated a jinn into the fuselage and it sneaked along and hid under my seat. We had just rolled up our rugs after the imam asked for Allah's blessing and death to Israel, when the jinn oiled its way out from under the seat and pointed out the really hot flight attendants boarding three gates down. Praise Allah, the Airbus 340 came with some great binoculars!

After that, the jinn caused my memory to become quite fuzzy. But as you will see from the pictures, the aircraft has had some modifications, including new skylights and a vastly improved passenger access system.

#6  I saw the photos of this accident on Airliners.net a while back. The captions did not say it was the "flight crew" but said that a ground crew had screwed the pooch.

I bet the shieks were po'ed about that waste of $70 Million.

#3  Makes you wonder if the A-340 has dual airbags.

#2  So they don't quite know what happened to the flight crew, even after pic #2 at the link ...

#1  SF - That's a scream! Haji and Muji are men for all seasons and should be shared.
