Grounded
Published Feb 10, 2004
John had spent a week visiting with his brother. Bill had accompanied him to the airport for his flight back home.
After verifying his seat number, George rejoined Bill and explained he'd have to wait an additional two hours.
"Why do you have to wait?"
"My plane's been grounded."
"Grounded?" Bill said puzzled. "I didn't know planes had parents."
