The pilot radios the control tower to get clearance for landing. The controller radios back that the plane has immeadiate clearance to land on runway 224. The pilot acknowledges and starts his descent. The landing gear comes down, the plane touches the runway, and all of a suddent the pilot jams on the brakes, and puts the plane in full reverse thrust. People are thrown out of their seats and finally the plane screeches to a halt. The pilot says to his copilot, "Wow! that's the shortest runway I ever saw!". The copilot answers "Yeah, but it sure is wide!" -- Robert Berlinger ...{philabs,cucard,pegasus}!aecom!naftoli "If you're not where you are, you're nowhere"
