You'd think an F-35 fighter jet going missing would be more surprising to us here at Twitchy, but considering the amount of ridiculous and stupid we have covered this year already, we're not phased by it.
Not even a little.
Besides, through our super-duper investigative reporting, we discovered who actually took the jet ...
The Lectern Guy (@lecternleader) ~ Sorry, guys. I'll put it back when I'm done.
Don't worry, he says he'll return it.
Oh, and the pilot is okay too.
Shew! Right?
The Lectern Guy (@lecternleader) ~ The real story about why the pilot ejected is being covered up.
HA.
HA HA.
HA HA HA HA HA.
You guys, we so needed this this morning so we assume you all do as well. Too damn funny.

Or the most?
Have you seen this plane? F-35 goes missing after pilot ejects over South Carolina

Missing: one F-35 fighter jet.
The U.S. military is looking for an F-35 that kept flying after its pilot ejected over South Carolina on Sunday. NBC News reported the plane was in autopilot when the aviator ejected.
USA TODAY reached out to the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing for confirmation.
According to posts on Joint Base Charleston’s account on X, formerly Twitter, the pilot ejected safely during the mishap and the search is currently focused on the area around Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion, northwest of Charleston, South Carolina.
“If you have any information that may help our recovery teams locate the F-35, please call the Base Defense Operations Center at 843-963-3600,” one of the posts said.
The F-35B Lighting II jet was flying for the Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron (VMFAT) 501 when the incident occurred.
Capt. Joe Leitner, deputy director of communication strategy and operations for the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing said in a statement that the Department of the Navy is investigating the incident.
If you're hiking outside Charleston and see a fighter jet, be sure to report it.
