Flew with an Australian captain in the commuters who used to insist on making ALL p.a. announcements to the passengers because "passengers find my accent more comforting than your American accent."

Yet in fact, "Captain Kangaroo" once made an announcement after a precautionary landing due to a minor maintenance issue where he told the passengers, "Not to worry folks, because at no time were your lives in danger."

Best part was that it sounded like good ole Steve Irwin: "...at no toim wa yo loives in daaaaynga." I'm sure that was refreshing for Mr. Businessman to hear.

What a tool.

Pilots or flight attendants who loudly ***** about the airline, their coworkers, and the passengers while riding on a hotel bus that is full of passengers.

The guy at the gas station who was washing his CAR with a squeegee. Tizool.

Have you ever endured an interview with MJK? He really is a tool. A very talented one at that.

Yeah Seamus, why do you think I'm a tool? I'd like to know...

Maybe it's just me but this guy doesn't really seem that toolish.

Whew! Thanks mosteam. Almost thought I was about to enter the ranks of tools on APC :D Hey, I'm just a guy taking photos and reliving the moment. It will be good to remember when I'm furloughed at AA.
