When the hotel comes to pick you up they can more easily identify you on the curb because of your "brownness". :rolleyes:
No one will confuse you with "real" airline pilots. (All "real" airline pilots wear blue, right??).
You won't confuse your uniform slacks with your interview suit.
Lastly and most important. You match the uniform of your local UPS delivery guy (except for the shorts :D )

I liked it better when we had the blue uniform shirts. It matched perfectly with the blueberry yogurt that would inevitably explode out of the container onto your shirt/tie when opened at altitude!:D

Clutch,

Obviously no one let you in on the secret of taking your fork and punching a small hole in the lid to relieve the pressure! Keeps the yogurt of the nice white shirt. :)

A senior MD-11 Captain gave me this advice on how to make it through a career at FredEx:

1. Open the yogurt away from your tie, not toward it.
2. Never whistle while you are packing your bag to go to work.

After receiving said advice I promptly called the House CEO and asked her if I whistled while packing to which she queried, 'No, why?'

Uhhhh....no reason! (We had a good laugh after I told her the story).

Both excellent advice. I did learn the "yogurt away" exercise after a few explosions.

But then you disable the safety feature of pressurized yogurt containers. Failure to squirt means an AIR LEAK, warning you of BAD YOGURT! :p

Other catering hazards
 
Make sure that you close the gasper fan before you open a packet of pepper. I'm a very slow learner. I did it twice one night, coming across the North Pacific.

Shouldn't this be on mandatory age 60 retirement thread?:D

Sorry about that...I'm off to bed.

I ignored Mach 84 which is another user instead of the static mentioned above by TonyC Mach84 before I was able to hear the peace and quiet. So if you ignore the listed above in your quote you will still hear the noise!!:eek:
