True. Got to pull a silent tool switcheroo on a couple of guys once. Got into the elevator with my old flight kit that still had a 737 sticker. Guy asks if I have a type, "nope". Then looks at his buddy with a semi-smartass comment of some sort as they laugh with (at) me. I stay silent about the 2+ years I spent flying the 737 before my 2 subsequent furloughs that landed me back (the job so nice i had to have it twice) at our regional airline, where btw I was originally a captain before they were new hires.

Sometimes it is better (more fun) to remain silent and be thought a fool.......

Of course I do have my own tool moments. Of that I have no doubt.
