I was just assigned a charter from Roswell, New Mexico to St. Louis. The charterer is the Federal Aviation Administration. What cargo will I be carrying? (Remember the Roswell Incident in 1947?)

I'm not sure what was in Dick's plane, but at the night O' last night there were a lot of contrails above Shawnee Mission Park. I figure one of those must have been Dick. I wonder if he saw our headlamps?

Safety pins for the pilots, Dick?

Safety pins? Oh yeah, you're referring to the extraordinarily thorough security procedures we have now where they confiscate safety pins from airline captains. I've even had to show my "Made in Canada" label on the inside of my belt.

Anyway, I ended up carrying nothing...the plane was empty except for the crew who had brought it from Atlantic City to Roswell carrying 200 Federal Air Marshalls going to Artesia (30 miles south) for training.

I thought it might have been dead aliens from another spaceship crash.
