little red wagon

Two men, sitting side by side in a 747 jet, started to talk. One told the other that this was his first flight.

They left New York City for Los Angeles. They landed in Chicago, whereupon a little red truck pulled up and refueled the plane.

They again landed to refuel in Denver. Another little red truck pulled up to the plane. Then they took off once again.

As they were about to land at their destination, the veteran flier pointed out to the novice what great time they had made.

The novice said, “Yes, they had made good time, but that little red wagon wasn’t doing bad either!”
