A traffic stop could be interesting.


Trooper: "Sir, I pulled you over for going 65 in a 55 mph zone. By the way, what are you hauling in the trailer?"

Driver: "Um...err...a Little Boy?"

Trooper: What?! You've got a CHILD back there?!

Driver: A child? Oh goodness no. A Little Boy...you know, the atomic bomb..."

It was a good idea, it just didn't work.

Did you even bother to read anything? Or did you just look at the pictures?

"Here is my latest project, a 1:1 Little Boy for the collection of the Discovery Park of America.

Discovery Park of America, a new interactive museum in Union City, Tennessee, will open in 2013."

Nice job. What are the small holes in front of the tabs on the tail cone for?

Here are a couple of photos of a different unit that is on display here in Wendover. The signatures were added at the 509th reunion in Wichita a few years back. Gen. Tibbets walked around it several time then signed it saying, "this is where I signed the real thing!"
