I want to fly a helicopter, not look at a bunch of crazy dials!

I love "The Onion"... Below is one of their article.

In the Bell Jet Ranger, I had to sit on a couple of extra cushions,
because otherwise, the airspeed indicator and the artificial horizon
were right in front of my face! Isn't it more important for me to see
the real horizon? For one thing, it'd help me figure out the damn
helicopter speed—one thing they don't have a dial for!

I don't think I want to be around this guy when he's flying.

"A RECESSION is when you know somebody who is out of work.
A DEPRESSION is when YOU are out of work.
A RECOVERY is when all the H-1B's are out of work."

To find out what an H-1B is and how Congress is using
them to put Americans out of work, visit the following
web site and click on the "Exporting America" CNN news

Can someone please explain the purpose of the onion to me? Is it
strictly humor, or just to see the "other perspective" of some things? I
don't get it. Does that guy really fly, or is he just an underpaid
reporter that had to turn in something funny by Friday, and thought of
"something funny" when he saw the local news helicopter on his way to
work? Is it even a real person, or is the onion comprised of whatever
funny thing may come along? Again, I just don't get it.

The Onion is satire

If the rest of the headlines on "The Onion" don't give you a clue then
you're probably too clueless to operate a helo to begin with.

Cheers Cam.
