Sunday night a couple of the boys (names withheld to protect the guilty)
were celebrating late, for the 'morrow was a stand-down. Taking the active
in a blue Pontiac Grand-Am, they went roaring down the runway at speeds in
excess of 100 mph. Departing the north end of the runway the car flew for
60 feet before touching down on the slope toward Stone Way, where it
rolled gently to a stop by the cyclone fence. It would have helped,
probably, if it had rolled on its wheels, but instead it rolled down the
hill sideways. At least the boys escaped with "minor injuries," but the
Grand Am was demolished. As the car took off, one bystander could swear he
heard someone in the car yell, "Gear Up!"

And that is the absolute, unvarnished truth, mostly. And, yes indeed, I
would make fun of a friend. :-)
