Crocked Conventioneers Canvassing
for Can Confront Comrades in Confusion -- FRANKFURT
(Reuters) - Two drunken Germans, apparently looking for a toilet during a
conference at Frankfurt airport, got on a plane by mistake and flew to
Moscow. The 20-year-old men were wandering round the airport when they
found themselves on the tarmac and boarded a shuttle bus, which drove to an
aircraft bound for the Russian capital. "They got in and sat in the
back of the airplane which then flew to Moscow," said Frankfurt State
Prosecutor Job Tilmann. "They weren't even at the airport to fly anywhere.
They were at a convention and had been walking around, evidently in a drunken
stupor," he told Reuters on Wednesday. On arrival in Moscow, they
noticed it was cold and realized they had no passports, let alone entry visas.
Russian police put them on a flight back to Frankfurt where they were met by
Federal Border Police who have charged them with joy-riding.
A Slow Boat Woulda Been Better by Dharmabum
(Sung to The Letter)
2 drunken Germans on an aeroplane
Had no idea it would bring them fame
A shuttle bus they found
Now they're Moscow bound
A slow boat woulda been better.
Just went out lookin for a place to pee
Woke up hungover in a new country
2 Drunks on the tarmac
How are they gettin back
A slow boat woulda been better.
(Chorus)
We went on a bender & we landed in Moscow
Where the wind's blowin cold
Listen mister can't you see we're sober now
And this is gettin kinda old
Anyway
Ain't got no ticket for this aeroplane
Feels like this joyride's gettin real lame
Not a great big fan
Of the motherland
A slow boat woulda been better.
