After landing on RWY 30 the other day I began to taxi to the gate when I noticed a beautiful red fox strolling across the taxiway.

Me: Hey, Ground. Did you know you have foxes here on the airport?

Ground: Oh, sure, plenty of them. I’m surprised you knew it was a fox — most pilots think they are wild dogs.

Me: Well, I’ve been to a bar or two. I believe I know a fox when I see one!

Female Voice: Then I guess you’d know a wild dog, too.
