Did you tell him that he was nominated? Not for being cool but for being a tool.

As I got off the airplane for my overnight, the outbound CA was wearing a fanny pack. I whispered a prayer for the FO.

Edit: Tool probably isn't the best word for this guy. I could give him a pass at Disneyland, and say he looked stupid walking down the road, but to wear it in uniform is entirely unacceptable.

They like hearing themselves on the radio most likely.

I finally decided to go out and see what was what, but by the time I had changed out of my NuGuy (tm) brand jammies, he'd managed to extricate himself.

But in the course of looking around, I noticed a shiny line of oil down the street, marking his path. I always wondered how far he got.

About 3 blocks. Can I get a ride home? Sorry about the damage.

I'm pretty sure that no NFL player has ever killed his children's mom with a knife.
