NOTE FROM ERIC:
Not content to just play fictional action heroes,
Harrison Ford has been making headlines by using
his helicopter at his Casper,WY, ranch to rescue
stray hikers from nearby Yellowstone National Park.
Which leads us to wonder: What other
daring acts has the mega-star been up to?


The Top 9 Heroic
Feats by Harrison Ford


9> Relocated and retrieved real Ark of the Covenant after the FBI lost it again.

8> Tried to airlift “Blair Witch” filmmakers from the haunted woods but, after hearing them whine, decided to just leave them there.

7> While he didn’t actually *save* Air Force One, he once joined the Mile High Club on a Southwest Airlines flight from Burbank to Reno.

6> He manually de-wormed Chewbacca — twice.

5> Saved the life of a pack of debauched, PCP-crazed Hell’s Angels by running away and refusing to fight them.

3> By using a shampoo that was also a conditioner, Harrison saved time.

2> Whenever George W Bush calls asking for “Jack Ryan’s” advice, replies: “No I don’t think we should nuke China.”
