I wonder what the Boeing service manual says about this?

Wash the flight deck aftwards.

Goat would make a pretty crappy gyro.



You should be skewered for lambasting a perfectly good goat joke.


I feel sheepish for presenting it.

You're ......wait for it ......"kidding", right?

Goat is just the right thing for gyros

depends on who or what you worship - a lot worse has been sacrificed in
the
name of money.


I think you meant to say "a lot of money has been sacrificed for a lot
worse."


No I meant what I wrote - people are sacrificed all the time for money as
the sub prime debacle has shown

So if some mechanics have had a particularly tough time on an aircraft
and
have a hankering for goat curry, a quick sacrifice on the tarmac wouldn't
surprise me one bit. Our driver when we lived there sacrificed a goat to
our Mercedes once a year.


It's always surprising to me that there are still people in the world
who believe that killing an animal will help...anything, outside of
hunger.

It always surprises me that killing people will help....anything. Why limit
the compassion at animals.

I
would like to think we are better or more enlightened than some of the
darker corners of the world, but if we are, it ain't by much.


and not by much either - "In god we trust" on the back of a banknote -weird.

Eh, why not sacrifice a couple of goats? I know plenty of Christians
who pray before a flight. Who am I to criticize another man's
religion?


Because by praying, you're trying to effect outcomes of the unknown or
things that you have little control over. It would be like praying for your
engine to fix itself as opposed to having a certified A&P look at it.
