No problem. My wife ALWAYS finds the place to put all that stuff. I just
have to hide all of it before she puts it there :-))




Aaargh!

We have a shelf at work for guys to bring back crap form tourist traps.
It's full of eiffel towers, burros, I (HEART) this place or that..

I used to be good friends with the Chief Stew (gorgeous girl BTW)from
the old Capitol Airways (DC8 charter operation out of Smyrna Ga. She
would bring back from every trip a virtual ton of those little bottles
of booze unless they were headed for Shannon. The Irish always drank the
plane dry :-)). I probably had one of the world's largest collections of
the little guys. It's amazing what you pick up at different places when
you're full time in aviation :-)

I'll bet when the bids came out from the front office for the left
seat job on that bird, at least somebody trying for the seat MUST
have been tempted to change his name to "Charlie Brown" :-))

groan!

Hey...ya have to admit......"Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin are
arriving at gate 6" kind of has a certain "ring" to it :-))


I don't think the general public called it that, just the employees. I'd
hate to have a name that mathced this airplanes nickname, though.

All you need is a bit of string to make the illusion complete.

They ran them through a training program at New Castle Delaware. Most of
them that I met were young and naive but eager to play stew and make the
bucks.
The gal I'm talking about was a bit older, gorgeous, and savvy as hell.
She had a mouth like an iron worker and took no prisoners up front. A
lot of the gang couldn't stand her but I liked her. We always got along.

Damn Bertie, I must be getting old but I can't make the connection.
I know I'm going to be sorry I said this, but give me another hint

You will be!

Think of something that requires string for removal.

See!

I'm going to take a wild guess (knowing you like I do :-))) and take a
shot that this thing just might look like a used Tampon???????

Hmm, might have met her. I went up to the "bar" to get another drink,
hopefully for free and asked if I might have another whatever it was I was
drinking and was told by the stew, sitting in her seat with her shoes off
and feet up against the bulkead while she did her nals "yeh, inda drawah,
get it yerself, two bucks"
