Super Secret Air Force’s Base

Have you heard of the US Air Force’s ultrahigh security, super secret base in New Mexico, known simply as “Area 51”? Well, late one afternoon, the Air Force folks out at Area 51 are very surprised to see a Cessna landing at their “secret” base. They immediately impound the aircraft and haul the pilot into an interrogation room. The pilot’s story is that he took off from Las Vegas, got lost and spotted the base just as he was about to run out of fuel. The Air Force starts a full FBI background check on the pilot and hold him overnight during the investigation. By the next day, they are finally convinced that the pilot really was lost and isn’t a spy. They gas up his airplane, give him a terrifying “you-did-not-see-a-base” briefing, complete with threats of spending the rest of his life in prison, tell him Las Vegas is that-a-way on such-and-such a heading, and send him on his way. The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force folks, the same Cessna shows up again. Once again, the MP’s surround the plane. Only this time there are two people in the plane! The same pilot jumps out and says, “Do anything you want to me, but my wife is in the plane and YOU tell her where I was last night!”
