Never Lock on to a Fighter Jet

[stalker]

Apparently two members of the police force were out on the
Berwickshire moors recently with a radar gun, happily idling their lives
away apprehending alleged speeding motorists when their equipment
suddenly locked-up with an unanticipated digital readout of 300 miles
per hour!

Seconds later a low flying Harrier jump jet hurtled over their heads.
The police lodged a complaint with the RAF over the damage to their
radar gun. The RAF pointed out that the damage may have been much more
severe as the Harrier's target-seeker had locked on to the 'enemy' radar
and triggered an automatic retaliatory air-to-surface missile attack.

This is too funny. A little hard to believe, but funny nonetheless.

Good one Jim.

I tried some news searching earlier this morning and only came up with anecdotal references.

Makes for good story to tell around the camp fire, though. :wink:

They should update their soda pull-tab myth now if they haven't already. McDonalds is actually collecting them.
