Spectators Balcony (Spotters Corner) If you're not a professional pilot but want to discuss issues about the job, this is the best place to loiter. You won't be moved on by 'security' and there'll be plenty of experts to answer any questions.

Test your sense of humour

A barber gave a haircut to a priest one day. The priest tried to pay for
the haircut, but the barber refused, saying, "you do God's work." The next
morning the barber found a dozen bibles at the door to his shop.

A policeman came to the barber for a haircut, and again the barber refused
to be paid, saying, "you protect the public." The next morning the barber
found a dozen doughnuts at the door to his shop.

An Airline Pilot came to the barber for a haircut, and again the barber
refused payment, saying, "you fly the public safely all across the world."

The next morning the barber found a dozen pilots waiting for a free haircut

It's official, Mago has no sense of humour.

it seems to be quiet obvious that the free service was not published via PPRuNe, otherwise it would not have taken til next morning for pilots to show up....

One reason it may not have got the reponse you were expecting Short Finals is that this very same joke was posted on PPRuNe within the last month. Try JB archives.

Thanks Khan. I didn't know I was doing a repeat.

I've since, in other circles, heard that this started out as a lawyer joke, and a friend suggested it would do for management consultants too. I still think it does us rather accurately.
