After a very long night stop in the states containing several small ales, a disco or two, and then a club with ladies dancing round a pole...... stagger back to your hotel and fall comatosed on the bed naked.
On hearing the hotel fire alarm at 0430 do you.........
a. Get up, check for smoke, get dressed to survive the midwest winter night and proceed outside via the stairs to the marshalling point to head count the rest of your crew and think how this may affect your crw duty time..
b. Wake up in a panic thinking where am I? Rush around pull some clothes on and rush out to the carpark.
c. Wake up with a headache, and think which tw@t set the alarm off pi55ed. Slowly think about pulling your flying suit on and eventually find your way out after waiting ages for the lift.
d. Wake up with a headache that would have killed a civilian! Not know where you are.... after some thought realise that it is so noisey you must be in Block 101 and the alarm is really a strimmer! Bury your head under the pillow and hope it goes away.... only to be woken up by two big firemen with hats and axes who insist you wrap your naked body in the sheet as they escourt you outside, where you sit and freeze your bo11ocks off for the next hour in sub-arctic conditions!!!!!!!!
