And another joke:
A blond is flying in a plane when her pilot keels over. She calls out: "Mayday! Mayday! My pilot is dead!"
Air traffic control responds, "Don't worry. I'll talk you through this. What's your height and position?"
"I'm five-four and I'm in the plane," she says.
"Repeat after me," says the voice. "Our Father, who art in heaven..."
About the jokester:
One of the more amusing scenes in this fall's buddy-cop drama End of Watch involves Natalie Martinez, as the charming wife of Michael Peña's south-central-L. A. police officer, unleashing a tirade of sex tips on her costars. The ad-libbed moment came as a surprise to the rest of the cast, which includes Jake Gyllenhaal and Anna Kendrick. "David Ayer [the movie's writer and director] said, 'I want you to make Michael Peña embarrassed.' So I started with a line and just kept going and going. Even David was like, 'Wow. We don't need to shoot that again. Moving on.' " It's becoming familiar territory for the 28-year-old Miami native — cop movies, not sex instruction. She played a homicide detective on ABC's short-lived Detroit 1-8-7, filming on location for eight months in the city. And she's appearing as the girlfriend of an ex-cop played by Mark Wahlberg in Broken City in January.
