You have to pedal really fast, but it will get there!

Maybe. Although I don't know how a bunch of hospital workers would know that I had a hard time learning to land it.
Wow. Does it make you feel more manly to try to insult me evey chance you get? Apparently you are perfect and just wonderful at everything aren't you? Do you feel better about yourself now you big stud?

I like to say most of the people in the general public are a bunch of morons.

Not said to me but I witnessed this as in ABQ a couple of months ago. Waiting to board a United flight, the crew was about 30 minutes late. The gate agent was bashing on the pilots for not being on time to all the pax waiting in the gate, and saying how see was going to give them an ear full when they arrived. Pilots walked up with a box of donuts, some coffee, and a bag of burger king breakfast. She greeted them warmly. I guess she lost her b**ch attitude when see realized that she was just a gate agent after all.

I have yet to do a trip where I DON'T hear that. You'd think by now I'd have a pretty witty response, but I'm still testing different ones out...

Hand the person your headset and say "ok then, here, you fly it". Should shut them up pretty quickly.

People as a whole are dumb. Individually, most of them are not so bad
