Two pilots are navigating a plane through the sky. Another man is standing on a cloud, trying to hitch a ride.
Clouds are not solid and can't be stood on. Hitchhikers are always on the ground, and they can't get that high up in the air.
Is that hitchhiker real or a hallucination?
He's always had his head in the clouds, but THIS ???

A play on the term "head in the clouds" --- usually, this is a figurative expression to describe a dreamer, an absent minded person, etc. But here, the person outside the plane not only is absent minded, but also, literally has his heads in the clouds by virtue of standing on a cloud at cruising altitude for the plane.
