An Old Pilot's Wisdom ... How true it is!

 

I was the only speaker to show up, so I had the stage to myself. I talked about staying in school, getting good grades and all that usual bullshit; and since I had plenty of time because those other guys didn't show, I threw it open for questions. The last one asked was, "Can you give us a couple of your life's philosophical beliefs? "

I said, "That's an easy one. Looking back over my lifetime, I've spent most of my money on guns, airplanes, fast cars, women and whiskey. The rest I just wasted."

I was escorted out without getting to finish my last two rules to live by: 

        1) If it flies, floats, or fucks, it's cheaper to rent it.

        2) If it's got tits or tires, you're gonna have problems with it.

I hope they invite me back next year so I can finish  They need to know this shit!

Thanks Hal!

Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.
