Travel stories and other stuff

Why is it when you land after a flight and pull up to the gate, that there is this noise that sounds like some guy is trying to saw off one of the wheels with a giant hacksaw?

That's the pilot looking for an excuse not to fly back
but to have a lay over. ( a rest stop ).

He's sawing off one of the wheels so that he can tell
his Boss the plane has a defect and so is no longer air worthy.

Or is it the rumble of the wheels on the railroad track...

Was that the sawing sound of you thumbing down my post?

A thumbs down was uncalled for. I think we need a new thumb introduced which is a 'neither here nor there' indication, for such threads, whreby people can exhibit their indifference.

Hey, I just now noticed another box next to the thumbs up/down boxes. An exclamation point box! How long has that been there, and what (if anything) does it do?

Just by clicking it you will see!

No don't click on it. It's not there to be clicked.

Does it flush the post away from my view? I'll bet that's what it does.

I want to click one of those so badly I can taste it... cheeky monkey wants to know what will happen.
