| 2003-11-12 |
| A South African air force pilot who was parachuting down after his fighter crashed in eastern South Africa Wednesday was killed when he slammed into the windscreen of a truck driving along a highway, police said. Under canopy, thinking everything is going to work out, when God decides to show you how a bug feels. "The pilot hit the cab of the truck and was killed instantly," said police spokesman Mica Tlou. "We identified the plane as an Impala which had a pilot and co-pilot on board. Both the pilots died," Senior Superintendent Tlou told AFP. The second pilot in the Impala attack jet landed on a rocky patch of ground nearby, the police said. When your time is up, it’s up. |

| #3 Thanking God for having someone invent the parachute, only to be splattered on a truck drivers windsheild. " Damn, that's the biggest beetle I've ever seen! " |

| #2 I can see the whole thing started to go sour when they tried to fly an Impala. Maybe an Impala SS would have been a better idea. |
