British media reported with glee the tale of Richard Phillips
who emailed the secretary to ask her to pay a four pound
($7.30) dry-cleaning bill after she accidentally spilled tomato
ketchup on his trousers.

Blonde to Control Tower
A blonde is on board a small two seater plane when
suddenly the pilot dies. Not knowing how to fly a plane
she grabs the radio.
" Mayday, Mayday ! My pilot just died ! "
Ground control receives her call for help and answers back :
"Don't worry, madam. I'll talk you down, just do as I say.
First I need you to give me your height and position"
" I'm 5"2' and sitting in the front ..."
Blonde, but of a different class
