An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!"
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?
Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"
The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."
The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.
This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older and Smarter.
Dedicated to all my senior friends ~ it’s time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip.

It may be streamlined, but I think it is ugly.


I am old and I am traditional, I love old traditinal things, pre 1960's airplanes and cars among others. I am not, however, so old nor traditional that I can't see the beauty in that bad boy. His photos are great.

USAF 1966-1970. SGT E4. Served as an Air-crash/Rescue firefighter in Frankfurt, Germany on Rhein-Main AFB which was the busiest airport for incoming and outgoing US Troops in Europe and in Del Rio, Texas, USA on Laughlin AFB which is a pilot training base. Hardly a dull moment while on duty because of all the aircraft traffic on both bases. I really loved my time in the service of my country. I got to see a lot of Europe and good portion of America.


Good morning sarge,I see by your post that you served as a Rescue Firefighter during your stint in the USAF. I had the misfortune of seeing you and your comrades in action back in the early 1950's while flying an F-86 Sabre out of Wheelus Field, Tripoli, Libya. My lead did a wheels up with fire caused be an electrical short in the instrument panel rendering most controls inop. I was just off his right wing most of the way in, scary.

Anyway thanks to guys like you he walked away relatively unscathed and was patrolling the Shahara again in a few days. Put the fear of God in a 22 year old hotshot as well.

It remains forever beautiful, almost no change since the early 1950's. The photos are excellent by the way.

What do you do or say, when

an innocent child asks you something completely innocent

and they are so serious? These have to be original and

genuine - no adult is this creative.



MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny

replied she was so old she didn't remember any more.

Melanie said, 'If you don't remember you just look in the

back of your panties. Mine say five to six.'


BRITTANY (age 4) had an ear ache and wanted a pain killer

She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her

frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap

and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder,

the little girl asked, 'How does it know it's me?'


SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups

'Please don't give me this juice again,' she said, 'It makes

my teeth cough.'


DJ (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked,

'How much do I cost?'


MARK (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were

hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his

eyes off them, he asked his dad: 'Why is he whispering

in her mouth?'


TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an

elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy

looked at the older lady for a while and then asked

'Why doesn't your skin fit your face?'


JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: '

The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee

out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned

to salt.' Concerned, James asked, 'What happened to the flea?'



CHARLOTTE (age 5) was the only young girl taking a karate

course with a class of little boys. One night after a karate

session her father noticed she was limping in pain. When

he asked what was wrong, she replied, 'I think I got kicked

in the nuts.'


This particular Sunday sermon...



'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward

heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face, 'Without

you, we are but dust...' He would have continued but at that

moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned

over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four- year-

old-girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

SOOC renders a photo of something, out of a computer you get a picture of something out of your imagination. In any case do what pleases you and to heck with what anyone else thinks.

GREAT NEWS!

A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. After three operations and treatment (and six months out from the last operation) I went in today for a checkup. As of now, I am cancer free. I had been dreading this appointment.

What a great way to start the New Year. Praise the Lord.
