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.
Coming Into Moscow by Trapper
(Tune: Coming Into Los Angeles)
(Words: Al Boyce 1/4/01)
Coming in from Moscow from Germany
Flying in a big airliner
Don't know where I am, only wanted to pee
In that tiny john, I felt much finer.
CHORUS:
Coming into Moscow by flight
We got really hammered last night
My friend and I aren't really that bright
mister customs man ---
There's a guy with badge on his furry hat
My buddy even handed him a nickel
Why's the towel man in this convention can
Got a hat with a hammer and a sickle?
This woman walking on the moving floor
Kept bringing us caviar and vodka
This is the best bar that we've seen so far
With two window seats and free latkas!
