Harrier Jokes

Two members of the Lothian and Borders traffic police were out on the
Berwickshire moors with a radar gun recently, happily engaged in
apprehending speeding motorists, when their equipment suddenly locked-up
completely with an unexpected reading of well over 300 mph. The mystery
was explained seconds later as a low flying Harrier hurtled over their heads.
The boys in blue, upset at the damage to their radar gun, put in a
complaint to the RAF, but were somewhat chastened when the RAF pointed out
that the damage might well have been more severe. The Harrier's
target-seeker had locked on to the 'enemy' radar and triggered an
automatic retaliatory air-to-surface missile attack. Luckily(?) the
Harrier was operating unarmed.

If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed, he'd be a. ..
.... Oh, wait a minute, he already does and is.

"... it is a pleasure to read about the traffic cops who nearly stopped an air-to-surface missile in a speed trap on Dartmoor. The Devonshire Police were waving a radar gun at passing sheep when the display shot
up to 300 MPH and stuck there, a phenomenon explained seconds later by the appearance over the horizon of a Harrier Jet, flying fairly fast and very low and heading in the officers' general direction. This careless driving on the part of the Harrier soon became the subject of an official complaint, but the RAF replied that the officers should count their blessings. It turns out that the Harrier's on-board computer had locked on to the radar gun, and suspecting an enemy aircraft, had taken the liberty of arming the weapons. Imagine more...
