Default Working in the airline industry .....

The airline employee
Working in the airline industry:

1. We work in weird shifts...
Just like a prostitute

2. We are paid to make the customer happy.
Just like a prostitute

3. The client pays a lot of money, but your "employer" keeps most of it.
Just like a prostitute

4. We are rewarded for fulfilling the customer's dreams...
Just like a prostitute

5. When we have to meet the customer always have to be perfectly groomed....
Just like a prostitute

6. When we finally get home it seems like coming back from hell.
Just like a prostitute

7. The customer always wants to pay next to nothing but expects us to make their dreams come true.
Just like a prostitute

8. When people ask you about your job, you have difficulties explaining it...
Just like a prostitute

9. Everyday when you wake up you say, "I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE DOING THIS".
Just like a prostitute

CONCLUSION:

The only difference between being an airline employee and a prostitute is...

Prostitutes can actually take Christmas and New Year's Eve off...
AND they actually DO make a lot of Money!!!

General Patton was a very interesting character. At one point he was reduced to being in command of two mules and was being pushed out of the military since he was close to retirement. Then magic struck with the outbreak of WWII and his dreams of glory were resurrected in the 9th hour.

Actually it was during research for a report in high school that gained my interest in Patton.
