Diversion Verse
Airplane Piloting 101: If you must spill coffee, spill it on your co-pilot … and not on the plane’s communication’s equipment.
A United Airlines flight from Chicago to Frankfurt, Germany, was diverted to Toronto this week after the pilot dumped a cup of coffee on the plane’s communication’s equipment. The unwanted liquid triggered a series of emergency codes, including one for a hijacking, according to Transport Canada, the agency that regulates transportation in Canada.
And that brings me to my latest limerick:
Diversion Verse
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A pilot with coffee needs skills
To captain his plane without spills.
So I don’t mean to grouse,
But kindly don’t douse
The controls, cuz that’s flying no-frills.

If cawfee comes through the daw,
please don’t spill it no maw.
I like to fly,
but I don’t want to die.
So just give the pilot a straw.
Thanks for the fun limerick, Jesse.
HAhaha! That one made me laugh out loud! It’ll be in the next Byteful Travel blog carnival.
