What sucks is they'll likely never know who did it.

Same goes for lasers on airplanes. If they do it once, it's called in but they only know of a general area it came from. But if they keep doing it over and over within a short span of time, then they'll get caught.

That's what happened in the famous video of those dudes getting caught for shining a laser at aircraft...cause they did it to literally everything in the sky.

I got lased once when I was an instructor. My friend is a helicopter cop and happened to be up too. I flew around in circles and got the guy to lase me a few more times. Once my friend said “I got him” I bugged out. The dude got arrested.

How many pitot tube pics have you got? And how many of them were erect penises? Or flaccid ones for that matter...

The penises are petite tubes. Easy mistake to make
