Irish Missile Launched at Newport, VT. Lands in Tree

Grandad launched a (left over Russian Cold War era) Missile at my town today but instead of exploding properly, wreaking death and destruction everywhere, it instead embedded itself in my neighbors tree.

It’s obvious that Grandad had to have his neighbor, Spanner, do a bit of modification on the delivery system. Didn’t know you could deliver a multi warhead ICBM using a Piper Cub before. says he used the plane to record the explosion but I know better. I scarfed all the nuclear material from the warheads embedded in the nose of the plane (no wonder it crashed–too nose heavy) and I’m currently adapting it to my heating system. With any luck I’ll have me a nuclear powered furnace percolating in my basement within a couple of days and then I can tell the local oil company to pack sand. Thanks buddy!

    Please, Sir…. Can I have my plane back please?

    Not a problem. Just email me your address and I’ll get busy boxing up the the various pieces/parts. I’ll get a crew together to police the grounds for the smaller stuff just to make sure. Wouldn’t want to hit any of them with the mower this summer you know. Wrecks the blades.

    The other alternative is to wait until I put it back together and then Sixty can fly it back.

  3. Hell, if Lindberg did it, I can too. Let me know when she’s ready to fly.

    Will do. It’ll be a week or so. I have a couple of appointments at the VA and one day of watching the quilt shop I that have to attend to. I’ll throw in an extra gas tank while I’m at it. You’ll have to only refuel once at Iceland that way.
