Now you've done it! My wife says I can't use the fart cushion any more
when we have company. THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell her you're using it ironically. That makes it high brow.

Too late. I've been trying to convince her for 40 years that fighter
pilots are high brow. Now, thanks to Jim letting the cat out of the bag,
she knows the truth! I'm afraid the fart cushion is history!!!

Hey, I know dozens of pilots. I guess that means I know 250K+ people! I
love statistics.

Here's another goofy-ass statistic, gleaned from another forum:

"I don't have the exact figures, but there are something like 600,000
active pilots in the US. I saw something in the paper the other day
there were 650,000 registered sex offenders in the US."

Hell, if THAT doesn't make you sit up and take notice -- there are
more perverts in America than pilots! That really points out just how
few of us there are, and why we, as pilots, have so little political
clout...

Just think how many sex offenders haven't gotten caught.

At least triple that, I suspect.

Are those numbers too close to be a coincidence? Now you have me wondering
how many other pilots are perverts.

Perverts make up over half the male population (3/4?), sex offenders are
another matter. Please don't confuse the two!

Just think how many sex offenders haven't gotten caught.

At least triple that, I suspect.

Maybe those are the same guys who are flying without a license...

Look, if the photos I've found of you on the net are correct, then _any_
humor you employ is by definition "high brow". Compare your hairline:

plane in the picture so as to keep this topical:

So just explain to her that the fart cushion is high brow. Point out that
another high brow you ran into on the Internet can provide pseudo-
certification to that effect. I'm a professional at high brow humor and am
able to demonstrate it by telling jokes that no one seems to get but me.

Guess it wasn't so easy a caveman could do it.
