Here's a joke for you all

Postby IcraveAkro » Thu Sep 20, 2007 3:06 am

An airline pilot and a priest are waiting in line in front of the pearly gates. St. Peter asks for the former airline captain to step forward and says, "Oh Captain Jackson we are awfully familiar with your work up here. Here is a silk robe for you and a golden staff, come on in." The airline captain goes into heaven and disappears behind the clouds.
St. Peter then calls the priest. "Father Nelson welcome to heaven, here is a cotton robe and a wooden staff." The priest thinks for a second and says, "I don't mean to be nosey but I'm just wondering why the airline pilot ahead of me got a silk robe and a golden staff and I got a cotton robe and a wooden staff after I've devoted my life to God." St. Peter chuckles a little and says, "Father Nelson, up here in heaven we work by results. While you preached people slept and while that airline captain flew people prayed."
"Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God"

We have a humour forum for this sort of thing. This is real aviation, you are going to upset people by putting this in here.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Goodmorning all... :)

Personally and with no disrespect to anyone, there is a lot of truth in part of IcraveAkro's little post.   ;)   :)

Gosh I wonder if I will get the silk robe and a golden staff?   ::)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I'd rather get the wings. ;)

An old joke, but a goodie... I'm not upset that it's in this forum, but more people looking for a good laugh will look in the Humor forum, Akro... ;)

No need to leave. We've all made mistakes, especially when WE were newbs. ;)

Thats right, concentrate on the 1 bad post & not the 3 good ones. Don't worry about ex-pat, he's just pointing out (quite rightly) that there is a humour section for jokes, hardly a crime. If you were a newb, then he probably would've been a little less blunt - but you have been here over a year, hardly nooby.

FYI, I love this joke, so much so, that I actually posted it myself once - albeit in the humour section.
