I tell them that the Company thinks I'm safer back here.

I can hear it now in Forrest Gump voice! Perfect! Absolutely perfect!

I have tears running down my face from laughing so hard at these! I can only hope to someday have occasion to use one of these in such a situation.

Thank you gentlemen, well played!

Or, if you don't like the answer you know you're going to get, don't ask the question.
I have to keep telling my wife that!

Waiting for a hotel van and two guys from Delta also waiting. I asked where they're from, and one kind of gives me the hairy eyeball and says "Delta".

PS I have a lot of Delta buds who thought that guy was a tool too.

You should have asked him which is the closest galaxy to his planet Delta is located.

Maybe he's talking about the Mississippi Delta?

He might have met a celebrity from Swamp People!

Me: "No, I sell Bibles for a living"

Passenger: "Oh"

Me: "Wanna buy a Bible?"

Passenger: "Ummmm.....no"

Me: "OK"

/End conversation



Works great everytime, all the time

This may not qualify for "tool" status but it bugs the sh$t outta me: The jumpseater who comes down before boarding then proceeds to stand over us while playing 20 questions while we preflight, load fms, run checklists etc... Just ask for a ride then get out of the way. Why is this hard?
