Default A reluctance to take the controls

I've worked a potter's wheel -- but no one has offered me the chance to
work a spotlight, yet.

Which is, of course, the whole point: When offered an opportunity,
don't turn it down!


You are missing the point. First of all, I doubt you will get the
instrument rating someday. Feel free to prove me wrong, but you just don't
strike me as someone who has a serious intent to pursue that rating.

That said, secondly...just because Jose has picked examples that you have
chosen to claim you would do, that doesn't mean that he could not chose
activities for which you have absolutely no interest in.

For example, suppose a gentleman approached you and offered to sodomize you.
Would you accept that opportunity?

How about if someone offers you the opportunity to eat human flesh. Jump at
that, would you?

Everyone has their limits. Yours are likely more expansive than some, but I
doubt they are very far outside the bell curve, and in any case you still
have your limits, whatever they are.

Pete
