KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have
sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god,
following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the
carrier said Tuesday.

I wonder what the Boeing service manual says about this?


You're ......wait for it ......"kidding", right?

BTW, sacrificing two goats is the accepted procedure for fixing...

....wait for it.... gyros!

Goat would make a pretty crappy gyro.

You should be skewered for lambasting a perfectly good goat joke.

I feel sheepish for presenting it.

Goat is just the right thing for gyros

I'm ready to sacrifice something for an intermittent radio issue.

What's the group suggest for radios?

I have cats and a guinea pig. I can buy others, if need be.

Definitely a cat. Attributed to Albert Einstein:

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull
his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you
understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send
signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that
there is no cat.

Even though I like cats, I have to agree. However, for transponder problems
a parrot is preferred.

I thought you use a parrot when you have a faulty ATIS system.

Speaking as a Ham Radio operator, I suggest a pig.

To appease the Islamics, shouldn't that pig be kosher?

Yes, and after it has been sacrificed on a 200 degree fire, with plenty of
moisture and hickory chips present for 12 hours, it should be pulled apart,
limb to limb.

While cleaning up from the sacrifice, if the pork that is pulled happens to
fall into some tomato product with spices, or some vinegar and spices, do
NOT put it into your mouth. g

Some hushpuppies and slaw will help to keep your experience balanced, and
make the sacrifice worthy.
