The Song Challenge: 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.

Two Vacant Chairs by SINSULL

We shall meet but we shall miss them
There will be two vacant chairs
Now two time slots are left open
Who will fill them unprepared?
Just two days ago we gathered
To assess our company's boom
But we lost two middle managers
Who went in search of the men's rest room

Chorus:
We shall meet but we shall miss them
There will be two vacant chairs
Now two time slots will be open
Who will fill them unprepared?

Fritz and Schultz went out a walking
Stopping only for the bar
"We must find a working bathroom!
Ach De Lieber! Not too far"
For their bladders were overflowing
Kidneys gorged to float a boat
But they found a water closet
On a plane called Aeroflot.

CHORUS

Once on board, they drained their kidneys
Ordered Becks and ale and stout
Ate a coach meal and slept well
Until a steward threw them out
With no papers and no green card
With no Visa or passport
Russian customs turned them over
To a somber Frankfurt court

CHORUS

They flew Lufthansa back to Frankfurt
Drank some fine Rhine wine in style
Refused to disembark when home again
'Til they got frequent flier miles
Sent to jail for joyous riding
And flying all around
And the moral of the story?
Try to pee on solid ground.

CHORUS
