Tug lives in Canada because his tongue is stuck to the flagpole and he can't find his way to Mexico where all the other Canadians are this time of year.

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.

Seems I've had ancestry from both sides of my family from there, from whence was issued my Mom's birth certificate. My Dad said he blinked and missed her Mom's (my grandmother) home town -- both houses! He didn't explain but I think these may have been very small houses, anyway: my grandmother was a large munchkin -- she was about 4' 11' with her high heels on.

When I was in the British Army in Germany, (British Army on the Rhine), in 1956, I remember we had a consignment of "Canadians" in the Barracks, and I could never understand why they all spoke; "French"!
Seemed very strange to me, at the time.
I can still remember, they were a dangerous lot, not to be messed with!

Mind you...I still cant figure out why the rest of the Canadians speak; "American".... :shock: ...!

Paul...always fascinated with other folks; "Language"!..... :D ...!

you should be able to copy and paste it to Microsoft word then copy and paste it to an email. I think. Im not very computer savy but it may work. I received this in an email sent to me by a friend and copy and pasted it here so it should work.
