Maintenance Documentation

Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high
school diploma to fix one:
After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe
sheet,' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.
The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the
form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are
some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked
with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance
engineers.

 

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
 

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
 

P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
 

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
 

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
 

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
 

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
 

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
 

P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
 

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
 

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search
 

P: Aircraft handles funny. (I love this one!)
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious.
 

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
 

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
And the best one for last:
 

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget
pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from the midget.

Ring Shopping

A very tall balding, white haired man from Sherman Oaks 

in California, walked into a jewelry store in a local mall 

this past Friday evening with a beautiful much younger 

gal at his side.

He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for 

his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and 

brought out a $5,000 ring. The man said, ‘No, I’d like to 

see something more special.’

At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and 

brought another ring over. ‘Here’s a stunning ring at only 

$40,000′ the jeweler said. The lady’s eyes sparkled and her 

whole body trembled with excitement.

The old man seeing this said, ‘We’ll take it.’

The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man 

stated, ‘By check. I know you need to make sure my check is 

good, so I’ll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to 

verify the funds and I’ll pick up the ring Monday afternoon.’

On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man 

and said, ‘There was only $25 in your account.’

‘I know’, said the old man, 

‘But let me tell you about MY GREAT WEEKEND!’

Thank You Dan!

Lovemaking Tips For Seniors

1. Wear your glasses to make sure your partner is actually in the bed.
 
2. Set timer for 3 minutes, in case you doze off in the middle.
 
3. Set the mood with lighting. (Turn them ALL OFF!)
  
4. Make sure you put 911 on your speed dial before you begin.
 
5. Write partner's name on your hand in case you can't remember...
 
6.  Use extra poly grip so your teeth don't end up under the bed.
 
7. Have Tylenol or whatever you use ready in case you actually complete the act...
 
8. Make all the noise you want... The neighbors are deaf, too.
 
9. If it works, call everyone you know with the good news .... even if its 8PM... !!
 
10.  Don't even think about trying it twice.

'OLD' IS WHEN... 
Your sweetie says, 'Let's go upstairs and make love,' and you answer,
'Pick one; I can't do both!'

'OLD' IS WHEN...   Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes
and you're barefoot.

'OLD' IS WHEN... Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.

'OLD' IS WHEN...  You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.

'OLD' IS WHEN...  'Getting a little action' means you don't need to take a laxative today.

'OLD' IS WHEN....  'getting lucky' means you find your car in the parking lot...

'OLD' IS WHEN...   An 'all nighter' means not getting up to use the bathroom.

'OLD' IS WHEN...   You're not sure if these are facts or jokes.

Hi Folks, This is a note to let you know I'll be in a hospital
waiting room today while Mrs. Woodsterman has a pacemaker
installed. I've been a bit preoccupied lately and that is why.
It's a fairly simple procedure, but it's the reason for it is
what has me scared. 

Our friend Ron is having a procedure done today also. Stop
by TOTUS and wish him well. Trust me he'll love it. 

*** Update: She's had the procedure and doing fine. It was over at 9:00 and she's eaten already. Doing great. Thank you all so much for your concern. It really means a lot.

Sleeping With Bob

The guys were all at a deer camp. No one wanted to room 

with Bob, because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn't 

fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, 

so they voted to take turns.

The first guy slept with Bob and comes to breakfast the next 

morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot.

They said, "Man, what happened to you?"
He said, "Bob snored so loudly, I just sat up and 

watched him all night."

The next night it was a different guy's turn. In the morning, 

same thing, hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot.

They said, "Man, what happened to you? You look awful!"
He said, 'Man, that Bob shakes the roof with his snoring. 

I watched him all night."

The third night was Fred's turn. Fred was a tanned, older cowboy, 

a man's man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyed 

and bushy-tailed. "Good morning!" he said. They couldn't believe it.
They said, "Man, what happened?"

He said, "Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked 

Bob into bed, patted him on the butt, and kissed him 

good night. After that, Bob sat up and watched me all night."

With age comes wisdom.

Thanks Mr. Trailbee, you made my day.
