your right on the mark!!

[Obergrafeter]

How can you be so politically incorrect and insensitive? Can we get that controller to my hometown?

I think sending a creative talent to a place like Comfort International would be, at best irresponsible, ...and a waste of good TALENT !!

I guess the jokes have to be technically incorrect for the non-aviation folks to see the humor, huh?

[Mudge]

Geez famvburg...didn't mean to insult your intelligence.This non-aviation type just thought it was funny. I don't usually pick 'em apart, I just pass 'em along.
