I guess the same moron who is afraid of gate 13 is not smart enough to realize gate 14 is actually the 13

Same goes for hotels with a 13th floor. News flash, the 14th is the 13th!

😱

Most Airports are even and odd numbered gates on opposite sides. That said the old Gate 13 old be the new Gate 15?

Seems almost delusional to me, but whatever, the guy was fine to fly with otherwise!

I always get a kick out of the idiots who have stupid ideas but instead of carrying them out themselves, they task someone else with their idiotic musings. In my last job we called them colonel and general.

Flew with a captain once, who, on take off let out a loud "UH OH!".

After sucking the wheels up, I asked what on earth was wrong, wondering what it could possibly be since everything appeared normal.

"The EGT was at 666!!" Dude was serious.

Every chance I got I tried to get that EGT back at 666 just to drive him nuts.

It was a lot funnier single seat, but I used to always say "I don't like the way that looks" right as I started rolling for takeoff. Figured if something happened and I morted the accident board would drive itself insane trying to figure out wtf I was talking about.

One of the Apollo astronauts revealed a radio prank from the Moon that they decided not to pull, by transmitting: “Uh-oh, what’s that thing? It’s coming this way! Aieeee!” ....... then silence.

And here I thought it was, “The little green men have us surrounded and are saying, ‘Take us to your leader.’”
