A Boeing 777 wide-body jetliner was lumbering along at 800km/hour at
33000 feet when a cocky F-17 fighter jet flashed by at Mach 2.
The F17 pilot decided to show off. On his state of the art radio (that
is part of his state of the art 3D & 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 leveling off
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 hell did you do?”
The 777 pilot chuckled and said, "I stood up, stretched my legs, walked
to the back, went to the can to take a whiz, then got a cup of coffee
and a cinnamon roll and secured a date for the next 3 nights in a five
star hotel with the lead flight attendant paid for by the company."
LESSON OF LIFE:
When you are young and foolish, speed and flash may seem like a good
thing!
When you get older and smarter, comfort and 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...
