Pilots Miss Airport

A Northwest Airlines Airbus, on a flight from San Diego to Minneapolis, overflew its destination by 144 miles. The crew said they were distracted during a heated discussion over airline policy and lost track of their location. The 144 passengers knew exactly where they were . . . in mortal danger!

Pot Smoker Wanted

The alternative Denver newspaper, Westword, is in the market for a marijuana critic to write about Colorado’s medical marijuana dispensaries. The pay is meagre, the pot will not be free and the writer must have a medical ailment that allows him or her to go to dispensaries and use marijuana. The column will probably be laid back.

Playing Through

Nullarbor Links, the world’s longest golf course, is spread over two Australian states and covers 848 miles. It takes about a week to play, driving up to 60 miles between holes. Lost balls are usually recovered by dingos. If they go into the water, golfers are advised to leave them to the crocodiles.
