Be This Kind Of Helicopter Pilot!
 
Young folks.....learn from your Seniors.


One day, while a Helicopter Pilot was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river.
When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"

The pilot replied that his axe had fallen into the water, and he needed the axe to make his living.

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.
The pilot replied, "No."

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.
Again, the pilot replied, "No."

The Lord went down again and came up with an iron axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

The pilot said, "Yes."

The Lord was pleased with the Helicopter Pilot's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the pilot went home happy.

Sometime later the Helicopter Pilot was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"
"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"

The Lord went down into the water and came up with ANGELINA JOLIE. "Is this your wife?" the Lord asked.

"Yes," cried the Helicopter Pilot.

The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"

The pilot replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to ANGELINA JOLIE , You would have come up with CAMERON DIAZ . Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes to ANGELINA JOLIE."

The moral of this story is: Whenever a Helicopter Pilot lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit of others.

That's our story, and we're sticking to it!

"Helicopter Pilots are truly honorable!!!”

You're forgetting
 
Hopefully we're still moving into an era when women's rights ar eno longer an issue and by that I mean they are the same ( not something lesser). Cute story but do you really think Angelina would trot off with a helicopter pilot? There may be issues with the Almighty not asking her if she will take this man, who will never be home, be unable to support her in the manner to which she is accustomed ( although she is clearly able to support herself and a band of others), and will probably subject her to aids ( aviation induced divorce ). Surely we should have moved past treating women as chattel. In addition, ranking them is a nasty habit. A parable is an illustration of a moral or spiritual concept. Leave out the second half, it turns a nice parable into a joke and jokes are always made at someones expense.

I don't know much about Ms' Jolie or Diaz but my wife (same one for over 41 years) and I have always put everything we own into the same pot and we both have equal rights to it. If I'd married anyone else, whatever their background, they would be subject to the same agreement.

Seems to me you are guilty of double standards. Do you think a helicopter pilot is of lower rank than other men? Ranking men is also a nasty habit....

SAS, so did the good Lord throw Ms Jolie back in the river? :E

Robbiee 20th August 2019 17:03

Ha! Yeah, that story sums up pilots all right.

,...reminds me of why I never tell anyone I'm a pilot too.

I wouldn’t worry about ms Jolie, she strikes me as quite buoyant :E

Well....it is said the Lord giveth....and the Lord taketh away....but then I also believe in waste not...want not as well.

Sorry if
 
My reply was a little abstruse. I was poking fun back at the original post by suggesting the implications of how the story worked. I've been married for 40 years. To the same wonderful woman and I shudder if I imagine how my life might have unravelled ( ravelled?) if not for her. I just think more women should kick ass and take names. We don't need to be sensitive ( heaven forbid) just unquestionably fair. Tthe unfortunate part is that i know a lot of men who are capable of behaving that way but they sure don't harbor those convictions without having to concentrate pretty hard. I'm probably one of those so I try to call 'em as I see 'em.

Well, at least you didn't clutter up the Friday Jokes thread with the comments.

As a pilot with a small chopper ( all I could just about afford was an R22 to learn in ) I did smile at this -

Must be a story about an Aussie pilot, because he needed an axe to cut through all the bull5h1t regulations strangling us.

krypton_john 20th August 2019 21:39

Wait, wait...

A pilot crashed his R22 into a lake. He climbed out and was crying by the lake edge when the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"

The pilot replied that his helicopter had fallen into the water, and he needed the helicopter to make his living.

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a new S-92. "Is this your helicopter?" the Lord asked.

SAS, Glad to see you have a great sense of humour, more of these would lighten up the forum!

megan 20th August 2019 23:54

SAS, good job he wasn't one of those permitted four wives. ;)

SASless 21st August 2019 00:12

I know many helicopter pilots that have had four wives....now currently ex-wives....along with some who were not theirs!

She's been a pilot for 15 years, and bought her hubby a helicopter, so I'd say, yeah, maybe it could happen.
