Man taken off flight for telling pilot an Air Force joke

http://www.usatoday.com/travel/news/...06-note-dc.htm

There's an Air Force Academy tradition of rating the food in the cafeteria. I assume there are 6 standard questions to which one commonly answers "fast neat average...friendly good good" It must be so ingrained that if one asks "fast neat average", the response is "friendly good good".

So a man wrote "fast neat average" on a napkin and asked that the FA give it to the captain. The captain, not having any military experience didn't know the meaning of the message.

The plane taxied back to the gate, the man arrested, then released after several hours of questioning. The plane left after an hour and 15 minute delay.

Wacky story! Sneeze and get thrown off the plane. Say and do nothing or get arrested. Say and do nothing and the FA will think you are suspiciously stiff and also get arrested!
