You fixed the plane HOW?

I never expected to fly Nepal Airlines, but now I GUARANTEE you that I’m never going to fly Nepal Airlines.

Several news agencies are reporting that Nepal Airlines has claimed that it fixed an electrical glitch in one of its two Boeing 757s by sacrificing two goats to appease the Hindu Sky god Akash Bhairab.

Apparently the poor goats were sacrificed in front of the troubled aircraft at the Nepal international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions.

Talk about a waste of two perfectly good goats.

I wonder if the guys in Seattle are planning on updating the 757 maintenance manual with this one?

It hasn’t been a good week for the Judeo-Christian Sky Daddy. First Elwood “Bunky” Bartlett cashes in on the Mega Bucks lottery thanks to a promise he made to the Wiccan gods and now Akash Bhairab fixes up a Boeing 757 in exchange for two measly goats.

Christianity better rustle up some miracles quick in order to keep from losing ground as Christians convert in droves to Wicca and Hinduism.
