there are bi-scuits, and tri-scuits, right? So, is there a plain ‘scuit’? What would that look like?” The avatar froze for a moment, then slowly said “Oh. My. Go-” “Hey, I got it. There are bi-cycles and tri-cycles, and a cycle with one wheel is a uni-cycle. So, it would be called a uni-scuit, whatever that is.” “I, Joe, I am speechless. I have no words.” “A triscuit is more dry and salty than a biscuit, so would a four-scuit be like a potato chip? Or should that be called a quad-scuit?”

“Two guys in an English pub, one says ‘From your accent I guess you are Irish’. Second guy says, ‘Yes, from Dublin’. ‘Me too!’ first guy says. ‘I was raised in Drimnagh, went to St. Mary’s school’. ‘Drimnagh? St. Mary’s?’ Second guy can’t believe it. ‘I graduated from St. Mary’s in 1982’. First guy slaps his forehead. ‘Faith and begorah. I graduated from St. Mary’s in 1982 also!’ Bartender says,” Jones paused for breath, “he says to himself ‘This is going to be a long night. The Murphy twins are drunk again’.”

The name ‘Golden BB’ referred to the fact that every aircraft is vulnerable to an impact by even a tiny object, that hit the right spot at the right time and with enough velocity. The origin of the myth was that even a BB pellet could knock down an aircraft, if the BB flew in an open cockpit window and struck the pilot in the neck. Some helicopters have a single ‘Jesus pin’ holding the rotor to the mast; a round striking that pin could cause the helicopter to crash.
