A REALLY bad joke
Tiger Woods had a driver error, too.

A REALLY bad joke
Never say, "Fasten your seat belts, we're going down."
Better say, "Fasten your seatbelt, I'm getting ready to land." even if you're going down. .... and your passengers might not know the difference between the crash and your regular landings. g Apropos of other "bad jokes", I used to tell my wife that when I'm driving, if I don't like what I see, I just close my eyes for a while. Once I closed my right eye and she freaked out for a moment until she realized I was pulling her leg. Jose -- "There are 3 secrets to the perfect landing. Unfortunately, nobody knows what they are." - (mike). for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

A REALLY bad joke
I have always carried pretty good passengers, really don't
want to cause them problems at least until they pay the bill. I'd love to have a car with a full set of controls in the right rear seat and drive on the freeway with nobody in the front seats. Maybe a mini-van.

G Like I pilot friend of mine told me he was coming in to land and misjudged the approach and came in way to high. Upon Initiating a go arround and told his passengers "We're not go make it" Meaning he was going to have to go around. The passengers took it to mean "We are'nt going to make it" |

Flying is a serious matter. Showing off and clowning are not appropriate in the air. Agreed. It's a bit like a doctor making jokes to a patient about whether or not he'll survive an upcoming operation. THAT WOULD NOT BE FUNNY!!! (...well, a little funny) Mont-little-black-bag |

A REALLY bad joke
When flying inter-island (over the vast 75 mile gap between O'ahu and
Kaua'i) in the Cardinal I'll occaisionally pretend to lose my way when it's a passenger I know well... causing them to start suggesting alternate directions, which are always wrong. Another one is that approaching any island when the relative humidity is above 50% you see massive cloud buildups over the mountains (fair weather cumulous, but with tops at about 9-11K), since the humidity is so high a light haze will obscure the actual island and I'll gently lead my passenger to believe that we need to fly through the massive thunderstorm ahead of us. |
