The Microhenrys
By Ed Henry
Pete's Maneuvers
- Pete sure does a lot of maneuvers.
- That's because he can't fly straight.
Practice and Praise
- Howard: How did I do?
- George: Well, Howard... if you practice long enough you could become a good flyer... but unfortunately you won't live to be 120.
The Landing Nobody Saw
- Howard: Say, Jacque... did you see that landing I just made?
- Jacque: No, I didn't, Howard.
- Howard: How 'bout you, Carl... did you see it?
- Carl: Nope. I didn't see it either.
- Howard: ...I finally made a good landing and nobody saw it.
- Voice: I saw it, Howard.
- Howard: I am the king of all I can see.
A Heady Achievement
- Narrator: It has kind of gone to his head... he just made his first intentional loop.
Rodney's Airplane
- Narrator: Oh dear... Rodney's airplane flew away.
- Rodney: Sure, go ahead and leave me... the one who loved you so much... you'll be missed.
Lost and Found (or Not)
- Passenger: Say... where is this new guy taking us?
- Helper: This is the last time I'm ever going to help you find your airplane.
Emergency and Recovery
- Pilot: I think you are going to crash, Jacque.
- Copilot: You better do something quick!
- Jacque: No problem... I just hit the air bag switch.
Showing Off
- Narrator: Joe is really a good flyer... but he always has to flaunt it.
- Observer: If I could fly like that, I'd flaunt it too.
- Observer: You better get some altitude if you are going to fly like that.
Claude's Approach
- Pilot: I think Claude is getting ready to land.
- Passenger: How can you tell?
- Pilot: His dog rolls over and plays dead.
