Marigolds are great. Anything in latex actually.
Err...
A quantas crew on a B742 heard about the skippers habit of wearing white gloves some time before the trip....
Apparently the skipper donned his white gloves as usual and anounced "set take-off power". At which point the flt engineers hairy, 3 fingered, long nailed mit advanced the levers...
Nothing was said, apart from "power set".
V1 was followed by "positive climb" from the F/O. Followed by "gear up" from the white gloved captain.
At which point the F/Os big red boxing glove moved the gear lever to the up position....
Apparently this captain never wore gloves to work again!
