It was weird looking around the plane the Internationalist found every single human was staring at every other frightfully of course Typical human beings! The German executive hardly cared for his Lowen-bra- u the German beer which he demanded a while ago He touched his wedding ring probably wondering if he would be lucky enough to see his frauline again “Ladies and gentlemen we request that you put on your seat belts and please extinguish — The plane is entering into a rough area very soon Everything will be alright Now please pay attention to how to use your life jacket again” “What the hell is going on?” was barked nervously by an old yank who a while ago had argued heatedly with his old lady over the jade necklace she wanted to buy in Hongkong The ‘rising sons’ were nervous too except one who kept his eyes and mind on the latest Playboy The duede had to be an old Kamikaze pilot! The Internationalist was sweating yes sweating like hell It seemed to him that after all God is relevant to mankind The plan was shaken mercilessly by the tackles of the wind and its deadly rain You could feel the rhythm of the rain through the window That rhythm had no harmony only threat Nobody knew how long it took to get through that ugly period but everyone was sure that time didn’t move fast enough Sighs were heard from row to row drink orders flashed through the air again It was almost seven when the skyline of Hongkong appeared below the big wings Kai Tax airport extended into the sea Rain was still failing like a curtain of bullets As the bird lowered further all hell broke loose No one could have thought of the word ‘typhoon’ again after what we had just been through The earth seemed to flip upside down screams were heard all over Cursing was in different languages at least one was universal and that was “Damn the — plane hit the sea” All the Internationalist knew was that he was in the process of reaching down to pick his coat up from the ground and the next thing he felt was a big “whack and wham” and the whole plane shook His body was jerked to and fro his head bounced against the seat like a basektball hitting the backboard When things died down and the plane came to rest he lifted his face up only to find out that his pillow was actually the stewardess’ derriere Yes we were on the sea in fact we could see and feel the rain which poured through the broken part of the plane Evacuation took place with no delay There was no time for heroism the first person to get out of the plane was ironically the steward Everyone tried to kill each other to get out of the plane first Salty sea water started flooding inside At least there was still some humanitarianism in mankind when all scared-whit- e eyes allowed the steward to take the h old baby out “Dat is my head you’re stepping on idiot” shouted the Lowen-bra- u d man as a figure was his bald head to as the out ladder of the plane using get of out the that for the sake of our lives Climbing plane was a staggering experience particularly when you had to grip something for holding and that thing unina was woman’s underwear But none would tentionally care to censor that scene when the lifeline was thing Next issue — Welcome to Hongkong three-mont- beer-barrelle- X-rat- ed |
