The story
Navy mechanics at Corpus Christi crack up over a story between jobs on the planes. The government caption writer quoted the punchline, but not the joke.
About the photographer

Size guide
The size you order is the photograph. A framed print adds a 2.5 inch mat and the moulding, so the outside is larger than the print. Canvas is the face size, with a 1.5 inch edge that does not add to the front.
