Watch what you say

This is also why, if you see a friend at the airport and his name is "Jack", you never greet him with the phrase: "Hi Jack"! :wink:

This is a gag I have been hearing from back in the late 1960s, during a time when a lot of jets were being hijacked to Havana, Cuba.

Cuban born musician/band leader/actor/TV producer Desi Arnaez, late husband of Lucille Ball, was allegedly detained, when he saw comedian, and violin player, Jack Benny, at JFK Airport, and called out to him, "Hi, Jack!"

I hpoe y'all all read to the end of the article!

Good thing the immigration officers didn't ask him about his body of work. Figgis' answer might have been "I recently made a huge bomb."

:D

I hadn't heard that one about Desi Arnez! I sure remember all the Cuba hijackings though. Seemed like one everyday there for awhile. Those idiots ruined it for everybody. I miss the days when you could still pack heat on a plane. :lol:
