I don't understand why you would buy Detour signs, when you can often so easily pick them up for free from the side of a road... :P 172.70.86.32 20:35, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- I don't understand why you'd take detour signs for free, when people can pay you to watch you steal flatbed trucks. 172.70.178.191 20:37, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
But would an airplane even fit on a truck? Or on a treadmill for that matter? 172.71.182.47 21:11, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

- Depends on how far you want to take the aircraft. You could just move it to some other part of the airport. There are a few airports that cross national boundaries which could make a relocation more interesting. May be worth mentioning the aircraft tractors at Orly Airport. These had a ramp that the nosewheel rode on, a flatbed could be used the same way. Orly public relations claimed it used these tractors because of unusually large taxi distances at the airport, but it was probably because they were French.162.158.159.52 19:10, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

I would have expected Black Hat to be doing something like that, not Cueball. 172.70.210.191 23:15, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- That was my first thought, too. Or even Beret Guy. 172.70.127.133 00:30, 11 May 2023 (UTC)Pat
- Black hat would be sending the airplane into a recycling facility (see bottom lines of text), and Beret Guy would be raiding it for scones. Or turning it into scones. 172.68.58.140 03:48, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
As a pilot, i would not follow these glowsticks onto a trailer due to safety restrictions on how far away the wheels should be. That's why airports are so big. 172.64.238.44 06:36, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Sometimes, one could see an airplane on a flatbed truck. Some flatbed trucks (or rather trailers) are HUGE. However, presumably the plane had not taxied onto the trailer under pilot control and its own power, but had been lowered by a crane, which had a completely different set of "marshalls" -- 162.158.103.165 08:26, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
Weird. Almost back to back "Did you know you can just BUY...?" comics. 172.69.71.11 08:36, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
Nothing to say about the comic itself, but I just wanted to express how funny this explanation is, between the proposed solution for the police car requirement and the description for the added image. I never knew we could add images in this way to make explanations clearer! 162.158.233.69 12:17, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
