Flying High!

The crew of a Pan American
Airways stratocriser swears this
is a true story. Pan Am. officials
in Seattle are passing it along.
Seems one of the hifge double
decked clippers was droning
across the Pacific at 23,000 feet.
In the rear cargo compartment
was a shipment of live chicks,
noisily minding their own busi
ness. Inside the lower-deck lounge
just forward of the cargo com
partment, a lady passenger was
doing likewise.
Suddenly she cocked an ear
toward the lounge door, then
beckoned a steward.
“Young man,” she said, “aren’t
we getting a little low? I can hear
birds!” -
