This is gold.
A Boeing 777 wide body jetliner was lumbering along at 800km/hour at 33000 feet when a cocky F-17 fighter jet flashed by. The F17 pilot decided to show off. On his state of the art radio that is part of his state of the art 3 D & million dollar headset the F17 youngster told the 777 pilot, “Hey Captain Watch this!”
He promptly went into a barrel roll followed by a steep unimaginable vertical climb. He then finished with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier as the F17 screamed down at impossible G’s before levelling at almost sea level ...
The F-17 pilot asked the 777 pilot what he thought of that?
The 777 pilot said, “That was truly impressive, but watch this!”
The 777 chugged along for about 5 minutes at the steady 800km/hour and then the 777 pilot came back on and said, “What did you think of that?”
Puzzled, the cocky F-17 pilot asked, “What the heck did you do?”
The 777 pilot chuckled and said,
"I stood up, stretched my legs, walked to the back, used the toilet, then got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll and secured a date for the next 3 nights in a five star hotel paid for by the company"
Lesson of life:
When you are young & foolish - speed & flash may seem like a good thing!
When you get older & smarter - comfort & dullness is not such a bad thing! It's called S.O.S...
Slower, Older and Smarter!
Dedicated to all my friends approaching the S.O.S. category...
