P.S. How can you tell the difference between a falcon and an eagle? Please, no NFL or Michael Vick jokes.
I must warn you, using your hat for an iphone holder through security never works out well. Usually I slap the hat on before realizing the phone is still in there. That's a YMMV thing. I think?

As to the difference between a falcon and a eagle? An eagle is of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly. Too lazy. Poor and often very lousy.

No I'm not talking about Vick either. I'm just quoting Ben Franklin:

Quote:

"For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.

"With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping & Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District. He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our Country...

"I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America... He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on."


Benjamin Franklin
January 26, 1784
And how could a quote from a Founding Father not be complete with a modern one, from B-U-double Z:


With so much drama in the L-A-X
It's kinda hard bein B-U-double-Z
But I somehow, some way
Keep coming up with funky *** ***** about Dems like every single day
May I, kick a little something for the G's (yeah)
And, make a few ends as I breeze through,
It's two in the mornin in the A-T-L but out here my party's still jumpin
Cause my momma ain't home
I got my b****** being displaced from planes wit livin rooms
And they ain't leavin because they got sometin better in da mornin
We got a pocket full of shizzles parkin us all away
They got them some fix to getin them paid
Now this types of **** happens every other day
When you got trip parkin hoes that say fool I gotta get mine
So lets turn off the lights and close the swap board
But (but what) we don't love them trip parkin hoes,
So we gonna smoke a ounce to this
G's up, trip parkin hoes down, while you ************* bounce to this...

Rollin' down the street smokin' endo sippin' on gin n juice
Laid back--with my mind on my money and my money on my mind.

Circle complete.

I like the hat, makes me look less regional. And you know what else I like? That we don't have embroidered wings on our shirts.
Why would we need to wear wings if we all carried falcons?

Since captains have to have something extra on their wings, they get this with the dangly thing:

Wow...just "wow."

I'm going to bounce down to Beale and pay an homage to the F to the T to the double bizzle B. Laid back.

And no more Whitney tributes....puhleeeze.

Out.

No need to take out the change from your pockets- it's too light of a metal to set off the detector. Same with the wallet. Gum can set it off though with the aluminum sometimes.

I just take out my cell phone, enormous watch, and machete. Those set it off.

Looking a bit grumpy there, groundskeeper. Upset you're in a 757? Or is it the ALPA pin?
