Caption Contest #46 - Ends Wednesday 12.29.10 At 9PM EST

Well, we've made it thru Christmas and now we have our sights set on the New Year. But before we say adios to 2010 we really need to squeeze in one more Caption Contest. I imagined several funny captions to go with this pic, so hopefully you guys can whip up some fun with it.
In case you're interested, the airplane is the Avro Canada C102 Jetliner. Only one was built, but it was the second jet-powered airliner to fly... ever. And at that, its first flight was only a couple weeks behind the de Havilland Comet, all the way back in 1949. It never made it into production as it turns out tho, but it's a pretty interesting story that I'll be posting about before long.
Anyway, you've got til Wednesday evening at 9pm EST to submit your clever/funny/cool captions. Then, I’ll pick the best 5 and put ’em in a poll for everyone to vote on for all day Thursday and Friday so we can find the winner.
The Rules:
1) Max of 3 submissions per person
2) Submissions go in the 'comments' area
3) Game ends Wednesday at 9pm EST
4) Keep it clean!
Then, anyone who wants to can cast their vote will be able to starting Thursday morning and running thru til 9pm EST Friday, New Year's Eve. The winner will be posted Saturday morning 1-1-11, New Year's Day! Have fun, and Happy New year!

"I don't know Joe. Personally I don't have a problem boarding this way but I don't think the self-loading freight is going to be too keen on it."
I think this is a major design flaw. No doors. I am sure this one won't go into production.
We've all heard the stories of walking to school uphill both ways, but Steven Slater's father shares a photo of how hard it was for him to quit his job "back in the day"
I thought you said you had the keys!!
"Guess we will have bring our own ladder as the ground crew have gone on strike " says the guy on ladder "But how are going start it without the generator set ?"

Flight attendants getting "Air Canada" ready for flight.
Hey you hozers....hurry up and hide the brews in the storage locker the captains coming! They'll stay nice and cold next to the O2 bottle EH.
Several months after Arrmegedon, Bob, Larry and Joe climb up the ladder from their bomb shelter to find..........an unscathed, fully functional, fully fueled Avro Canada no less! After many high fives were exchanged all 4 turbo jets were lit off and the joy ride began.
"This is a Canadian plane right, so do we board from the left or the right side?"
"I don't think a coat hanger is going to do it !"
Quick, we are being photographed! Pretend you know where the door is.
Is this the ladder to Hogwarts?
Trust me, just go up this ladder and you will come out on the American side.
