Can you answer these questions?
satire
(1) I gotta buy a flight bag. Which one should I buy? (2) What should I keep in that flight bag? (3) Which flash light should I buy for night flight? (4) My wife needs a headset. Given that you do not know her or for that matter, haven't seen her, Can you tell me which headset should I buy for her? (5) I just soloed, which sunglasses do I need? (6) I got to buy a plane this month to get a huge tax break. Which one? Oh! and in another thread, I have posted a question about whether to save a few bucks on a transceiver by not getting the nav feature. (7) I am a enter profession here. I like flying, can you tell me if I should become a professional pilot? /satire p.s.: [instrcutor to student on a night flight]: In case you have an engine failure at night and you are going down for an off-airport landing, remember to turn the landing light on so you see where you are going to crash. [student]: What if I don't like what I see? [instructor]: Turn the light off. |

Humor appreciated, but at the same time, isn't the purpose of these forums
to help each other understand what we don't currently understand? A new student pilot with no aviation background won't know that these aren't "good" questions or that they aren't giving us enough information. I work in the computer networking field and *CONSTANTLY* get questions from business clients like "My computer at home keeps running out of memory, can I put the 80 GB hard drive I saw at walmart in it?".......well, there are about 15 areas of concern that I could come back and completely destroy the person on in that one sentence. But, why? They don't know. They only know that they are having a problem and are smart enough to ask for help. Sorry, if we've offended you with our ignorance in the past. Let's talk about RIP/RIP2 and IP routing sometime. jf wrote in message oups.com... satire (1) I gotta buy a flight bag. Which one should I buy? (2) What should I keep in that flight bag?

I just tell people they need to download some more memory off the internet.
They could try www.downloadfreememoryhere.com If they are all out of memory at that site, I offer to email them some.

I tried to download that memory. Bad link. Can you please check the link
and post the right one for downloading memory. I'd like about 1 Gig. And I need it by tomorrow, so I can save a large amount of data to my hard drive. Thanks! -Frank "PJ Hunt" wrote in message ...

I just use a backpack...it fits nicely between the seats in the Caravan. (2) What should I keep in that flight bag? Things to hold the aftermath of bodily functions...see---http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?t=44435 (3) Which flash light should I buy for night flight? One that doesn't use up all your battery power by just sitting there (like mine do). (4) My wife needs a headset. Given that you do not know her or for that matter, haven't seen her, Can you tell me which headset should I buy for her? The one where the microphone doesn't work. (5) I just soloed, which sunglasses do I need? RayBan Aviators...or those General Macarther ones they used to have. (6) I got to buy a plane this month to get a huge tax break. Which one? Oh! and in another thread, I have posted a question about whether to save a few bucks on a transceiver by not getting the nav feature. An F-104 (7) I am a enter profession here.

Jeff,
My post was made tongue-in-cheek. I ruined the satire by marking it "satire" for the humour impaired, still no luck... See Satire in dictionary: Sati n. 1.a. ... work that attacks human folly through irony, derision, or wit. FWIW, I have made my share of silly posts and silly questions in this forum and learned from the replies. And I accept your offer to talk about IP routing any time. you will find that I have worked in the networking field for 13 years and have learned a bit.

Yes, I caught it very well, thank you. If you read the replies, they were a joke (well...mostly) as well. Who didn't catch the joke? -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or North American* |
