A little humour for your day

An air traffic control tower suddenly lost communication with a small twin-engine aircraft. A moment later the tower landline rang and was answered by one of the employees.
The passenger riding with the pilot who lost communication was on a cellular phone. He yelled, “Mayday Mayday Mayday! The pilot had an instant and fatal heart attack. I grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket and he had told me before we took off he had the tower on his speed dial memory. I am flying upside down at 18,000 feet and traveling at 180 mph. Mayday Mayday Mayday!"
The employee in the tower immediately put him on speaker phone and said, "Calm down, we acknowledge you and we'll guide you down after a few questions. The first thing is not to panic. Remain calm!"
He began his series of questions:
Tower: "How do you know you are traveling at 18,000 feet?"
Aircraft: "I can see that it reads 18,000 feet on the altimeter dial in front of me."
Tower: "Okay, that's good, remain calm. How do you know you're traveling at 180 mph?"
Aircraft: "I can see that it reads 180 mph on the airspeed dial in front of me."
Tower: "Okay, this is great so far, but it's heavily overcast. So how do you know you're flying upside down?"
Aircraft: "The pee from my pants is running out of my shirt collar."

This true?

Edit to ask: were either of you 1 of the 8?

Ha! On one of my first days working on a roofing crew in college, we had to take these big white vans to the job site. There was probably 5 or 6 other guys on my crew that day, and I wound up having to drive because In was the only one that still had my license.

We did have a crane operator who would drink a six pack every day home from that job. It was less than an hour drive. He would stick his beers in a brown jersey glove “so no one would notice it was a beer.” Like dude… I’m not sure you could be more obvious if you tried.

Anyway- yes. Seems legit.
