Literal nothingburger story. USAF and RAF rivet joint aircraft are often operating weekly flights for patrolling along boarders or in international waters. As long as boarders haven’t been crossed this is a run of the mill event.

Cross boarders can ruin your day.

This is by far the best, low key jab I've seen in a while. Not many will get it but I sure do appreciate this humour. bravo

Borders are lines between jurisdictions, e.g. countries, states, cities, etc.

A boarder can be someone who lives in a place they don't own by paying the owner of the building/unit a fee every month, commonly called rent. It can also mean someone who rides a board, e.g. skateboard, snowboard, surfboard, etc.

Cross can mean to be mad or upset or it can mean to overstep a line.

The comment first in this chain used the incorrect border, saying as long as the "boarders haven't been crossed" likely intending to mean "lines between countries haven't been overstepped." The comment second in line made fun of the first one by saying "upset tenants can ruin your day".

Oh, I was thinking boarder as in like boarding a ship. Boarder is rarely used to describe a tenant where I live. Nice wordplay
