WHY AIRPLANES ARE BETTER THAN MEN

-- An airplane lasts longer than seven seconds.
-- An airplane won't care if you gain five pounds.
-- Flying an airplane can't make you pregnant.

Peter, are you sure you are not a woman posting under a man's name?

That's it! How could we have missed this for so long. It explains
everything. :-)

And when was the last time *you* worried about W&B?

And people wonder why so few women participate in aviation.

I'd like to see someone write a similar "joke" about "airplanes and men" and
post it here. Now *that* would be funny.


Geez, this is only a bunch of jokes, so chill out. My wife laughed
almost as much as I did, and she is not particularly thrilled about
riding in my plane. I'd love to see a similar list about men and
airplanes. In fact I've got one someplace; I'll have to look around.

The jokes are tasteless and stupid and do reflect a kind of boneheaded
good-ol'-boyism that infects aviation to an excessive degree.

The howls of protest and cries of "politically correct!" that greeted
your post are illustrative.

Hang in there, Pete.

**** POLITICAL CORRECTNESS !!!

If you were offended by the joke, feel free to end your life... Maybe you'll
be lucky enough to be reincarnated with a sense of humor next time...

I forget where I heard this, but I'm pretty sure it was a
radio talk show host. He said something along the lines of,

"If I say something that offends you, that's not *my*
problem. It's *yours*. I'm not the one who is offended".

Well, by that reasoning, everyone who's offended by Pete's criticism should
understand that that's *their* problem, not Pete's.

But of course, that reasoning--like the PC label--is applied very
selectively. The anti-PC crowd seems to believe that it's ok to express
*their* opinions, but anyone who dares to question or criticize the tenets
of right-wing political orthodoxy is offensive and out of line ("feel free
to end your life" rather than voicing an objection--that's how Grumman-581
summarized it elsewhere in this thread).

You're absolutely right. Which is why after I let loose on him
I've decided to just ignore the ******* from now on, hence solving
my problem.

But I brought it up to point out that it is *his* problem if he is
offended by the original joke. If he doesn't like it, he needs to do
something to change *his* situation so he will no longer be exposed
to that which offends him - and I don't mean forcing his opinion of
what is offensive or not onto everyone else.

If there's one place in this world where you are bound to run into
something "offensive" much sooner than later, it's on the internet.
People need to "grow up" and "get over it" and "move on".

Quite!

What a nation of thin-skinned, thumb-sucking whiners the US has become.

....he says while whining about a "PC" post that offended him, oblivious to
the irony.
