MY APOLOGIES to anyone I offended yesterday-- not my intent.
I clearly screwed up what was a light-hearted attempt at humor, to the point where some folks seriously thought I was advocating physical violence in the workplace and PMed me threatening my job. And several folks replied in the thread offended so clearly the post wasn't perceived as the satire/joke it was intended as-- my fault, sorry to have ruffled feathers and riled guys up.
It was intended to be a joking "that's a bad idea" post in an intentionally "over the top" tone, and I thought it would be obvious to all readers. The whole thing, as Bucking Bar alone apparently noticed, was a paraphrase from Monty Python's "The Holy Grail", where the Knights of Ni respond "over the top" and threaten to kill and eat the Sir Robin. Apparently not everyone is as conversant with the movie, as I thought "And should be beaten about the head and shoulders with a herring if not worse" would make everyone reading the post say "Oh, he was parodying Monty Python here", as it's the only place in history where anyone was ever threatened with death by being beaten with a herring (fish).
While I do have a serious opinion on allowing new changes to the swap board, that post wasn't intended to seriously convey it. Again, my sincere apologies for what was obviously a poorly executed joking post.

My wife hates it, that's why I love to watch it. I hated the Notebook, that's her Get Even movie!
Speaking of which, American Sniper comes out today! I might make her watch that! (and then beat her with a herring!)

The thing on the back is clearly a chemtrail dispenser made to look like an afterburner

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's an A-7 with the motor removed.
Maybe, it looks like a swept back wing not a delta to me, but that could just be the angle of the picture. A frontal view would make it a lot easier to tell. Either that, or I'm still providing humor for the longest running gag in the thread.

OK, my bad. I better understand/remember this drama. Thanks.
Now, IF the senior-->junior F/O wants to get nasty, he might develop an 'eye problem,' and he'd stay home, right? Wouldn't the ultra-senior F/O now fly, or would it go out to a W/S or reserve?
(No dog in the hunt, but the mechanics are interesting!)
