These forums are quirky, to say the least, as we try to translate our thoughts into words on a screen....
Plenty of unintended messages.....
I took it as typical pilot gallows humor. Like the old one about being in the crew room to hear a guy died and before long everybody starts muttering about what number he was. I remember the time the shuttle Challenger blew up, by the time I got to work that day somebody had already come up with Now Accepting Seven Applications for NASA.
Sick bunch...
