"I'm sorry, sir, but we packed the defibrillator instead."

With a hat tip to Memeorandum, CBS affiliate Channel 2 in Chicago reports that, with Vice President Dick Cheney on board, during its approach to landing in Chicago one of the engines of Air Force Two was struck by a bird.

“All of a sudden we heard this tremendous bang,” said another passenger on the flight. “We were pretty lucky that the pilot and the engine did exactly what they were supposed to do.”

Luckily, also, Cheney apparently didn't have his 28-gauge Perazzi shotgun with him on the flight, so none of the other passengers or crew were injured as a result.
