Stork
Оглавление– Sir!
– Not now, Hans, it is very urgent!
– But, Sir!
– Another minute, Hans, I’m almost finished!
– Sir!
– What is it, Hans? Can’t you see I’m busy!
– Sir! We’ve got a stork in the nozzle!
– Hans, are you out of your mind? How can a stork possibly get into the nozzle? We are in another galaxy! What sort of crap do they teach you in the academies! Don’t you understand? Nothing can fly into the nozzle! On the contrary, a hot plasma under very high pressure gets out of the nozzle! Got it? Repeat!
– Hot plasma under very high pressure gets out of the nozzle, sir!
– Good! So, what happened?
– We have a stork in the nozzle!
– Here you go again! Where is the stork?
– In the nozzle, sir! This is the code word, sir!
– Code word! What code word? What? Reverse the engine at once! Stop! Don’t reverse the engine! You can’t, when there is a stork in the nozzle, or we croak out! Send a signal to the base immediately! We have a stork in the nozzle! Just tell them right away that this is a code word so that they don’t laugh like wild horses there. This is a serious matter!
– Will do, sir!
