Hijack

“Someone is hijacking the airplane cruiser. Let’s go see if we can help out the stewardess. Look there: the aggressor is wearing a ski mask. He is telling us to keep our distance, while wielding a knife as his only weapon. I’ll try to sneak up on him and give his shoulder a karate chop.”

“Yes, sir; that ought to make him fall to the floor.”

“Here I am now, behind his back.”

“OK, don’t talk so loud, sir!”

“Ah, good idea — because he might hear me then.”

“Yes; and he could turn around and knife you, sir!”

“Alright. Now I’m getting ready to chop.”

“Darn; you’re a little too loud, sir — the hijacker heard you!”

“Oof, now he knifed me right in the heart!”

“Oh my gosh! Are you OK, sir?”

“Yes, I’m fine. Just focus on saving the stewardess!”

“Wait, I’ll be right back, sir; don’t worry — I’ll run and get first aid.”

“No: save the girl! I’ll be alright.”

“Are you sure, sir? You don’t look too hot.”

“Don’t distress: soon the bleeding will slow down.”

“OK, sir — if you say so.”

“C’mon now, tell the stewardess to follow you; then lead her to safety.”

“Sir! I did as you commanded; now the villain is captured, and all is well! — We saved the day!”

“I knew that we would.”
