What fun! NPR used to do a game show like this on the weekends, maybe they still do.

So I'm going to use a little gamesmanship and guess that the false story is the airplane crash. I'm choosing that one because it sounds highly likely to be true based on what I know about your military career. So I'm guessing you're being very clever by trying to invent something that sounds true but isn't.

That my story and I'm sticking to it. Lol.
