Next time I am speeding and a cop is behind me flashing his lights I'll just rip the rear-view mirror off and throw it out the window.

An air traffic control tower suddenly lost communication with a small twin engine aircraft.
A moment later the tower landline rang and was answered by one of the employees.
The passenger riding with the pilot who lost communications was on a cellular phone.
He yelled, "Mayday, mayday! The pilot had an instant and fatal heart attack. I grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket and he had told me before we took off he had the tower on his speed dial memory. I am flying upside down at 18,000 feet and traveling at 180 mph. Mayday,mayday!"
The employee in the tower immediately put him on speaker phone.
"Calm down, we acknowledge you and we'll guide you down after a few questions. The first thing is not to panic. Remain calm!"
He began his series of questions:
Tower: "How do you know you are traveling at 18,000 feet??"
Aircraft: "I can see that it reads 18,000 feet on the altimeter dial
in front of me."
Tower: "Okay, that’s good, remain calm. How do you know you're travelling at 180 mph?"
Aircraft: "I can see that it reads 180 mph on the airspeed dial in front of me."
Tower: "Okay, this is great so far, but it’s heavily overcast. So how do you know you're flying upside down?"
Aircraft: “The shit in my pants is running out of my shirt collar.

Why was it a twin engine aircraft and not a single prop?

He (the pilot) clutched at his chest thinking it was just reflux...but unfortunately it was worse.....#2 Lesson in life - if you are going to be a pilot DO NOT HAVE A CURRY just before take-off......

Pretty sure the Tower was able to talk the passenger to upright the plane and land it successfully, however he kept slipping over when trying to walk away from the plane (investigators blamed the rubber shoes he was wearing slipping in the shit); he hit his head, suffered a severe concussion and was not allowed to fly again...

Someone at amazon (AWS) has a sense of humor .... either that or they have taken Walking Dead too seriously
