One afternoon Mrs.Green’s husband wanted to catch the
3:30 flight to London to have an important meeting. She was very surprised when
he telephoned her at 5 o’clock and said that he was still at the airport.
“What happened to you?”asked
Mrs Green.
“Well,” said Mr. Green, “Everything
was going fine. I got my ticket, checked my luggage and waited in line at the
gate. I walked across the runway to the airplane and I saw my friend Jack
Scott, who was an airplane engineer. I shouted to him and a policeman caught
me.”
“Why did he catch you?”
“I don’t know,”said
Mr.Green, “As soon as he heard my shout, he ran towards me and caught me.”
“What did you shout to
your friend?”
“All I said was ‘Hi,
Jack’. You know that’s the usual way we say hello to our friends.”
“But you don’t know the
sentence ‘Hi,Jack’ also means to take control of a plane by force.”
