Slat and Poppa were on a small chartered airplane when the pilot suddenly had a heart attack.
"Don`t Panic," cried Poppa heroically. "I`ll land this baby!"
Seizing the controls he headed for the runway at LaGuardia Airport, and began wrestling the diving plane to the ground. Just as the wheels touched the ground, Slat screamed, "Red lights!! Right in front of you!"
Immediately Poppa threw the engine in reverse and jammed on the brakes, bringing the plane to a violent stop just inches from the edge of the lights.
"Brother!" he puffed, wiping his brow. "That sure was a short runway!"
"Yeah," agreed Slat, looking side to side, "but look how WIDE it is."

That was so corny it was funny.

Excellent badbobby that really sounds like Slats and Poppa.
Sounds like some DAMN good flying skills, all things considered.
It's yours, then, Tom...keep it

Actually, our being injected was the joke's saving grace.
Marines add quality to all they touch.

Hum, maybe not, ethanol is made from corn, maybe he took a big ole sip, did a double backflip, whoosh, white lightning.

Only a Marine would try to land crossways on the runway.
I can see why they failed the Navy entrance exam after all.
You can't have those kinds of shenanigans going on in the middle of the ocean.
That is both plausible and acceptable.
