Q: What Does the Pilot of an Airliner Do if the Plane Suddenly Drops 2000 Feet?

A: Look up from his newspaper.


Dear Students,
You're not going to get any preparation for this in your classes.
But you should know it.
The key to success in big time advertising: learn to live out of a carryon.
Don't get into this business unless you truly love airplanes.

Merry Christmas.
The holiday dedicated to us not having to get what we deserve.

I flew home on ATA airlines from DC to Chicago. They did not give us a snack, only a drink.

Last time, I got a packaged cookie type snack.

On a more serious note, I had the window seat above the right wing, and one of the parts didn't work. I noticed this while landing in Chicago.

Now, I'm not an expert on airplane technology, but when every flap thing goes up, except the 2nd one to the end, something is wrong. Should I have said something?

Have a relaxing holiday.

Last week I had to fly to NY.
Seated next to me was a young man from Spain (I never spoke to him I only noticed becaus eof the maps and books he was reading.)
Anyway, I knew the next 6 hours of my life would be a living hell when he raised his arms to put a bag in the overhead bin. The man hadn't bathed since Franco was in office. I kept the hurl bag nearby and took every opportunity to walk the aisles of the plane.
My return trip was not much better as I was seated next to a crazy lady who wouldn't stop talking. I have trouble filling two hours of conversation with my wife, how does anyone blather on for 6 hours to a total stranger?
All of which pales to the infamous man in seat 29E (google seat 29E for a good laugh).

Merry Christmas Mark.

I used to work for a company called Vita-Mix where I would go and demonstrate how this "blender" worked. I flew about 4-6 times per month. I lived in Portland at the time and would fly to everywhere from Anchorage to Jersey. It got old very quick. Does it get much worse than that in the ad world? There are worse things than flying though.

People all the time miss the point. And i think the most difficult thing in this world is to make other people laugh. we all think we are funny, but we all have been proved wrong time and again. So fellow commentators, please try harder.

For a couple of weeks the post from lowlifestormcloud has bothered me a bit.
I wasn't sure why considering its harmless nature.
And then reading some things from Einstein I came across a quote, "Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means."

That sums it up well.

I know I'd rather play with Barry Sanders than Terrell Owens.
