You've all heard of the Air Force's
ultra-high-security, super-secret
base in Nevada, known simply as "Area
51?"
Well, late one afternoon, the Air
Force folks out at Area 51 were very surprised to see a Cessna landing
at their "secret" base. They immediately impounded the aircraft and
hauled the pilot into an interrogation room.
The pilot's story was that he took
off from Vegas, got lost, and spotted the Base just as he was about to
run out of fuel. The Air Force started a full FBI background check
on the pilot and held him overnight during the investigation.

By the next day, they were finally
convinced that the pilot really was lost and wasn't a spy. They gassed
up his airplane, gave him a terrifying "you-did-not-see-a-base" briefing,
complete with threats of spending the rest of his life in prison, told
him Vegas was that-a-way on such-and-such a heading, and sent him on his
way.
The next day, to the total disbelief
of the Air Force, the same Cessna showed up again. Once again, the
MP's surrounded the plane... only this time there were two people in the
plane.
The same pilot jumped out and said,
"Do anything you want to me, but my wife is in the plane and you have to
tell her where I was last night!"
