My wife once came in from taking the dog out to poop and said “I found that part you said was missing.” I decided I didn’t really need it that bad.
A friend came home from work one day and his wife told him she decided to clean off all those dusty model planes by swishing them around in the bathtub.
Sometimes it’s what you don’t hear… like where a small part lands after flying through the air! I had super glue on that thing and it just disapeared without a trace and not a sound. It was there one second and gone the next… maybe it was a wormhole…[banghead]
I was wondering if the “Black Hole” was a condition that just I suffered from!! Sure am relieved to see others saying it happens to them too!
My wife doesn’t come in my modeling room, and my older teenager doesn’t want to, so I’m responsible for what cleaning gets done, but in all that cleaning, I rarely find any of the objects that have succomed to the Devils Triangle between my legs!!!
Also, here’s something else you can think about: “If your work desk is 4’ x 2’, wonder why your work area’s only 5” x 2"?
Things you don’t want to hear?
Mine was a bit of a freakout -
While in traction (just out of ICU as a matter of fact) after a particularly nasty motorcycle accident, my darling mother (bless her little cotton socks) tried to lighten the moment by saying:
“I washed the dust off all your model planes by running them under water - were the decals supposed to come off and float away like that?”
I was not impressed.
I also don’t want to hear “Does THIS turn?” Followed by the sound of snapping styrene.

Hey all,
A year or two ago at our annual mall show I had a few a/c on club display.
My lovely F-16 was up in front showing her stuff when this lil runt I mean lil boy came and closed the canopy. I was shocked to have seen this happen right before my eyes. It happened so quickly that we could not respond fast enough[banghead]. The parents were right there when he did it too.
The funny thing was that there was a sign right next to the plane which read: “Please Do Not Touch”. I guess reading was not one of there strong points…!! LOL[:p]
Just to hear the sound of white glue and plastic snapping can make ones stomach go…!![xx(]
Heres a few for ya, 1. O look dad the bombs can be dropped. 2. Dad, was that suppose to do that…?? 3. O look dear, Fido found himself a new chew toy[banghead] 4. Dear, why is your hand stuck to your forehead and why is the superglue empty? 5. Hun, a few of these thinga-ma-bobs came off while I was dusting in your room!!.. You did what?? 6. A few of bobby’s friends came down to see your model room, they have been really quite ever since! 7. Why does FSM make it look so easy…LOL 8. I see lil billy used my paints for finger painting again. 9. Can I spin the propeller? 10. Mommy, why is daddy on his hands and knees looking at the floor. Hey mommy what did he just say???
Flaps up, Mike
I think I have heard some of those things around here in the past (especially after A. during the first few months of marriage and B. not long after each of my boys learned how to walk) Here’s some other statements that I have heard over the last 30 odd years.
Statements (or prefaces) which can cause fear at AT (Summer Camp)
2nd Lt “It’s been my experience that …”
Capt “I’ve got this great Idea”
Sgt “Hey guys, watch this”
The four most feared things around an aircraft
Smoke
Flame
Loud noises
Sudden silences
And you just thought it happened around models! lol [:O][:O][:O][:O]
How about: “The good news is that i fixed your TV/car/computer. The bad news is that i have all these left over bits.”
Also i don’t like it when the pilot of your flight gets on the intercom and gives you the “Welcome to flight 1234… blah, blah” and he stops in the middle of the sentence. I imagine that all the warning lights in the cockpit are going off at the same time!
Bad things to hear:
The sounds of a cat digging in a room not equiped with a litter box.
Silence when there are little kids or cats around.
Gnawing coming from a room other than where the gerbil/hamster/… is supposed to be.
A crash followed by a lot of swearing from my bedroom. (Models and ceramics)
You go to draw a parachute, and the stumbling drunk you saw at the Enlisted Mens Club the night before is a “rigger”. Oh S**t!
Has anyone else put something some where, and find that it somehow moved somewhere else all by it self? No one moved it, nor did they see it. Maybe the dog moved it, and isn’t talking? One of these days I’m going to Super Glue something of mine to the kitchen table, just to see what “she” does! I know, it’s my fault I married her!rangerj
