"Meteor"
"Coming up on the right, you can see the
Meteor Crater, which is a major tourist
attraction in northern Arizona. It was formed
when a lump of nickel and iron, roughly 150
feet in diameter and weighing 300,000 tons,
struck the earth at about 40,000 miles an hour,
scattering white-hot debris for miles in every
direction. The hole measures nearly a mile
across and is 570 feet deep."
From the cabin, a passenger was heard to
exclaim, "Wow! It just missed the highway!"

"Parts Mistake?"
Car Collector Gary, a parts manager for a
small electronics shop, had occasion to order
part No. 669 from the factory.
Later, when he received it he noticed that
someone had sent part No. 699 instead.
Furious at the factory's incompetence,
Morris promptly sent the part back along with
a letter giving them a piece of his mind.
Less than a week later, he received the same
part back with a letter containing just four
words, "Turn the box over."
