Let me guess rubber jungle in the back. They warned us about that today in class. It's on the FO's side and I hear its real easy to even knock by mistake. They said they have canned FO's on prob for that. After Prob no problems.

It's totally out of the way, how do you "accidentally" bump into it? That thing is a dust collector!

I'm scared to even look at the dang thing, fearing my advanced mental telepathy skills might drop the rubber.

Alright guys, so whats a rubber jungle? Or, maybe it was an improper fueling and he didn't catch it. If the lineman screws it up they have to get mx to come out and remove the excess fuel. Its easy to do because the autoshutoff malfunctions and its up to the flight crew to catch it sometimes. Just venturing a guess....

Oh that's funny. It must be a pain putting them all away! I guess the CA has some explaining to do when this happens.

"Ladies and gentlemen...(pause) WHOA... just making sure your flight with us today is everything you wanted it to be."

HAHA, i don't know what I am talking about. I have only seen it on the paper dragon in the hotel but, it looks close and from what I have heard something could happen that you might accidently bump it or something. I guess its one of those things that have happened before.

Don't listen to everything you hear in training, I promise you, unless you mean to press it, you won't...unless you got psychic abilities like my friend CL65.
