Default What the wife notices

Oh lord! They'd use all those crazy colors that don't exist in a man's
world... like Mauve... Beige.... Chartreuse... Navy.... This would be a
disaster at OSH.

Margy, just what color ARE those controllers shirts anyway?

I thought this was pretty funny. My non-aviation wife has about 800
hours in the right seat but has never expressed any interest in
aviation or the airplane (other than being a good method to get to
cool places like the beach or a remote area of Mexico). Last night at
dinner she was able to rattle off almost the entire aviation phonetic
alphabet! I was blown away. She said she picked it up just passively
listening on the radio. Pretty funny! She mentioned how all the
letters are guy words (Whiskey, Golf, etc). I started thinking it
would be pretty funny to come up with a gal alphabet (apricot, blouse,
chrysanthemum, etc).
