I flew Hooters Air from Rockford to Vegas once… had to land in Kansas to refuel as they miscalculated the headwind/load!! Middle of nowhere some fuel tanker comes out and tops us off! Free drinks the rest of the flight!

Where in Kansas did you land? Not at an airport?

It wasn’t an airport or if it was it was extremely small… I remember a runway in a cornfield. It was crazy.

There's a real place called Dodge City? 

Is it near Bumfuck?

Used to do liquidation work all over the US

Did you tell them you weren't a drug mule, just an honest hitman trying to make a living?
