If you fly the 737, you might get your space back for your goodie bag next to your seat when we get rid of those ship sets in a year or two

Old Pilot 2: Drunk?

Old Pilot 1: No, no, no. Using our hands and our wits. Yeah, sure, it's hard work, but it has meaning and dignity.

Old Pilot 3: Huh? What do you say?

[long pause from the other men, MD-88 pilot screaming in the corner of the room claiming he already does that cannot be heard]

Old Pilot 3: Nah. Let's just trip park.

Old Pilot 2: Sounds good to me. Who wants to call scheduling and set one up?

[long pause from Old Pilot 1]

Oil Pilot 1: Hey... I forgot what I was saying. Hey did you hear they made another change to the FOM?

Old Pilot 3: Oh give me a break, another change?! Why can't they just leave well enough alone.

If it were up to you we would still be riding horses.

The automobile, what a stupid idea.

Take a picture of the chart with your phone next time. A little review before the test always helps.

Costco in SD has cases for $24. Or if your long time friend is the VP of Marketing you get all the Ballast Point for FREE.....LOL. Not good for my waistband though.

My current personal favorite is the Stone Cali-Belgique. Followed by the Ballast Point Sculpin & Big Eye.

But NEVER rule out the quickly forming Micro's in the North County (Vista mostly.) Belching Bever, Iron Fist, Prohibition, etc.

Stay thirsty San Diego!!

Hey, you know how many people have died in car accidents since the Automobile was invented?? I think we should all walk to the airport!

And what about texting while driving?!

Yeah, that was a -really- STUPID idea!
