Why I wanted to be a pilot

This one has probably done the rounds as it's been in my inbox for a least a month or so. Anyway if you havn't seen it - enjoy.



PS. This was sent to me by a non-pilot friend.

Loved the "she will be with new men". Didn't know pilots were so hard up (unfortunate phrase) reduced to sharing their favours.

LITTLE #^*&
Little do you realise though that a little #^*& for a pilot is a highly evolved state of the human anatomy. Our #^*&'s swell with altitude or simply from the thought of altitude! Hence the need for little #^*&'s for when we are not flying (or thinking about it either)!
Now where's that hostie call button!

Reminds me of the story of the pilot's wife who went to heaven and has the standard interview with St Peter.

She says, "Look Peter, I have spent my life surrounded by pilots and their mates who are pilots, I have one request; DO NOT put me in heaven with any PILOTS!"

St Peter smiles and says "No worries, we have large areas of Heaven that are designated non-pilot zones for those very reasons, I will put you in one of those."

She smiles her thanks, enters the Pearly Gates and then through a second gate into heaven itself. The first thing she sees is a man dressed in aviator goggles and flight suit. He is preflighting a golden Tiger Moth.

She turns in a fury to St Peter. "What did I say about no PILOTS!"

St Peter smiles apologetically."I am sorry," he says, "that's actually God. He just likes to pretend he is a pilot!"

Haughtney,

Actually, I suspect you are right.

So how does one go about identifying a proper one??

Well for a start..be very suspicious of a short moustached man whose opening line is....." hi, I fly hero-planes"

My own preferred approach is..." My family own a drycleaning business"...or.."Im a trainee mortician" undoubtably this approach seems to be ahead of its time..as it's met with little/no success to date

Seriously though...I dunno, its a bit like fishing I guess..match the lure to match the target species. (actually come to think of it mayby I should follow my own advice )

Should your opening gambit be SO BIG that a hoped for "friend" is put off big time it is then time to pick a chaser and expand your repertoire or shop in Mount Druitt. Some women in aviation actually possess intellects and are fascinating on all manner of topics. Some of whom are single at sixty and would have it no other way.
