Thank heavens they weren't kittens. 5 hrs on SWA and kittens? Never would have made it.

The answer is, and I've considered using this ploy myself when non-reving, nobody will hassle a male f/a because....

Oh stop! You Savage!

On one of my recurrent sim rides a couple years ago, the IP threw us a problem that required me to call the aft F/A station (I think it was a cargo smoke alarm or something), so I pick up the intercom handset and call the back. The IP is playing the part of the aft F/A, so he answers with;

"This is Dick in the Rear..."

I was laughing so hard he had to freeze the sim until I got it together.
Good thing his parents didn't name him "Cucumber."

The guy I'm flying with who after doing my brief looks at me and says: "Do you have any questions or smart remarks to make?"
This amongst other very toolish "remarks" put him at the tool of the day # 1 spot.

I'm sure it makes me a tool for even thinking I should be able to have a missile launcher on my car (one shot per day).

8 hours on the highway yesterday. How many people think its okay to drive 60in the left lane (speed limit 70 everyone going 80) with 40 cars lined up behind you?

La Di frikkin Da...terminal offense.

Okay I'm a tool.

In their defense.....The left lane is one of the best places to smell rainbows and watch clouds grow.

We had one that predated my employment that called all male FAs "Tailgunner". One friend in the sim after an engine failure picked up the phone to notify the back and stated "pilot to tailgunner" before getting whacked with a rolled up USA Today.
