If the nose gear is still spinning down on our first leg and I already know that the Jews are planning world domination through forced sterilization, it ain’t me.

I think I would work about one or two less trips a month if I asked to get taken off a trip every time the guy I flew with bombarded me with absurd conspiracies.

Like the C-17 guy who wants to be called by his callsign, tells stories like he downed 25 zeros over the Pacific and rails on deadzoners, even though he has been here only 3 years. Yup, long trips.

If boardrooms were wiretapped, I'm sure they'd also be out real quick.
