URBAN MYTHS #45: SUSPICIOUS CASKET
A FRIEND of a friend worked as an airline pilot and for years flew the
JFK-Heathrow run. There were many amusing incidents, but one still makes him
chuckle the most.
He'd flown a jumbo into London, and when all the passengers had
disembarked, one of the stewardesses found a small carved box under a seat.
When she opened it, she found some suspicious-looking powder inside. Customs
staff specially trained to deal with drug trafficking quickly arrived and one
officer opened the box, licking his finger before dipping it into the powder
and putting it into his mouth to taste it.
"Well, it's not a narcotic," he said, efficiently. Just then, an elderly
lady tottered along the aisle and asked the stewardess if she'd happened to
come across a small engraved casket. It apparently contained her husband's
ashes.
