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

)

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!

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.

Thanks for the reminder Tony!

It really was easy.
Click on Members List.
Click on M.
Click on Mach 84.
Click on Add to Ignore List.
Voila!

To add a user to either list, enter their name in the empty boxes for that list and click 'Save List'.

Ignore List = Mach 84

SAVE LIST

Done.

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).

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

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.
