The long awaited Airbus MegalA 400 M Transport Plane failed to lift off in its debut today in Seville. The Paul Bunyan sized monstrosity was designed to carry 800 tanks, 600 Jeeps and 5000 troops to any airport worldwide.
With all engines roaring while causing the earth to tremble for 50 miles around, the $ 1.2 Billion dollar plane moaned and shook as it tried to lift off the runway at full throttle. It was being tested by flying 25 banking executives who financed the project for the government to their offshore tax havens in the Cayman Islands.
Apparently the executives had their latest bonuses with them and the total weight of the cash exceeded the plane's lift capacity. "There was just so much cash, we couldn't get 'er off the ground" said one of the pilots.
EU Finance Ministers and Key Politicians who depend on the banking executives for their campaign donations, immediately commissioned a new design with 16 engines and lifting capacity of 666 tons.
"If this new set of specs doesn't do it, we might actually have to put caps on Banker Boy Bonuses" stated one sad looking politician. Other key political figures were overheard saying they did not want to be instigators of an American style "Bonusgate", but would "rather keep increasing bonuses to the same Banker Boys and do it quietly in the UK."
