C061

An airplane pilot invited the skipper of a submarine to go up in a plane with him. The pilot scared the skipper by power diving close to the earth, looping the loop, and barrel rolling.

When the pilot was the skipper's guest, the skipper ordered the crew to take the submarine out to sea and then down as far as it could go without being crushed. The skipper and pilot watched the depth gauge. The pilot grew more and more frightened as the gauge crept toward the danger mark. Finally the skipper ordered the crew to bring the submarine lip to the surface. But something went wrong. The submarine kept on going down. The frantic skipper gave frantic orders to his frantic crew. But still the needle on the gauge read deeper and deeper. Suddenly the hatch of the submarine was thrown open and the pilot discovered that the submarine had never even left its pier.
