A rather well-proportioned secretary, Joan, spent almost all of her vacation sunbathing on the roof of her hotel. She wore a bathing suit the first day but, on the second, she decided that no one could see her way up there, and she slipped out of it for an overall tan. She'd hardly begun when she heard someone running up the stairs; she was lying on her stomach, so she just pulled a towel over her rear. "Excuse me, miss," said the flustered little assistant manager of the hotel, out of breath from running up the stairs. "The Hilton doesn't mind you sunbathing on the roof but we would very much appreciate you wearing a bathing suit as you did yesterday." "What difference does it make?" Joan asked rather calmly. "No one can see me up here, and besides, I'm covered with a towel." "Not exactly," said the embarrassed little man. "You're lying on the dining room skylight

! A Round Of Golf
Three men went out to play a round of golf, Moses, Jesus and an old man. Moses tee'd off first, and the ball landed in the water. He parted the water, and hit the ball in for a birdie.
Jesus tee'd off next, and the ball landed in the water. He then walked on the water, and hit the ball in for a birdie.
Lastly the old man tee'd off, but before the ball could hit the water, a fish jumped out and caught the ball in it's mouth. Then an eagle swooped down and caught the fish. Lightening then struck near the eagle, frightening it, and it dropped the fish. When the fish hit the ground, it dropped the ball in for a perfect hole in one

Praying and Playing
A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eys, and bows down in prayer.
His friend says, "Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man."
The man then replies, "Yeah, well we were married 35 years

The Best Man
A college senior took his new girlfriend to a football game. They found seats in the crowded stadium and were watching the action. A substitute was put into the game and as he was running onto the field to take his position, the boy said to his girlfriend, "Take a good look at that fellow. I expect him to be our best man next year."
His girlfriend snuggled closer to him and said, "That's the strangest way I ever heard of for a boy to propose to a girl. But, regardless of how you said it, I accept!"

Fore-lorn
A man loved to play golf. It was the one activity he looked forward to every week. One Saturday, he returned home from a scheduled three-some much earlier than his wife expected. She asked him why he was home so early.
"Do you want to play golf with someone who whines about every shot, complains about everything on the course, and makes noises when you're trying to make an important shot?", he asked.
"No, I don't," answered his wife.
"Neither did they!"

Dumb Jock
The basketball coach stormed into the university president's office and demanded a raise right then and there. "Please," protested the college President, "you already make more than the entire History department."
"Yeah, maybe so, but you don't know what I have to put up with," the coach blustered. "Look."
He went out into the hall and grabbed a jock who was jogging down the hallway. "Run over to my office and see if I'm there," he ordered.
Twenty minutes later the jock returned, sweaty and out of breath.
"You're not there, sir," he reported.
"Oh, I see what you mean," conceded the President, scratching his head. "I would have phoned."

Is He Dead
A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head.
The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: 'My friend is dead! What can I do?'
The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: 'Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.'
There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: 'OK, now what

Baseball In Heaven
Pat and Mike, both in their 90's, had played professional baseball together and, after they retired, had remained close friends. Pat suddenly fell deathly ill. Mike visited Pat on his deathbed. After they talked a while and it became obvious that Pat had only a few more minutes to live, Mike said, "Listen old friend. After you die, try and get a message back to me. I want to know if there's baseball in heaven."
With his dying breath, Pat whispers, "If God permits, I'll do my best to get you an answer."
A few days after Pat died, Mike is sleeping when he hears Pat's voice.
Pat says, "Mike, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is, yes, there IS baseball in heaven. The bad news is, you're scheduled to pitch the top half of tomorrow's double-header."

Fishing In Florida
While sports fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist capsized his boat. He could swim, but his fear of alligators kept him clinging to the overturned craft.
Spotting and old beachcomber standing on the shore, the tourist shouted, "Are there any gators around here?!"
"Naw," the man hollered back, "they ain't been around for years!"
"Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming leisurely toward the shore.
About halfway there he asked the guy, "How'd you get rid of the gators?"
"We didn't do nothin'," the beachcomber said. "The sharks got 'em

The Amazing Golf Ball
Two friends went out to play golf and were about to tee off, when one fellow noticed that his partner had but one golf ball.
"Don't you have at least one other golf ball?", he asked. The other guy replied that no, he only needed the one.
"Are you sure?", the friend persisted. "What happens if you lose that ball?"
The other guy replied, "This is a very special golf ball. I won't lose it so I don't need another one."
Well," the friend asked, "what happens if you miss your shot and the ball goes in the lake?"
"That's okay," he replied, "this special golf ball floats. I'll be able to retrieve it."
"Well what happens if you hit it into the trees and it gets lost among the bushes and shrubs?"
The other guy replied, "That's okay too. You see, this special golf ball has a homing beacon. I'll be able to get it back -- no problem."
Exasperated, the friend asks, "Okay. Let's say our game goes late, the sun goes down, and you hit your ball into a sand trap. What are you going to do then?"
"No problem," says the other guy, "you see, this ball is florescent. I'll be able to see it in the dark."
Finally satisfied that he needs only the one golf ball, the friend asks, "Hey, where did you get a golf ball like that anyway?"
The other guy replies, "I found it."

A few days before Christmas, a man enters a pet store looking for a unique gift for his wife. The store manager tells him he has just what he's looking for! A beautiful parrot named Chet that sings Christmas carols. He brings the husband over to a colorful but quiet bird. The man agrees that Chet certainly is pretty, but he doesn't seem to be much for singing. The manager tells him to watch as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a lighter. The manager then clicks the lighter and holds it under Chet's left foot. Immediately Chet starts singing; "Silent Night, Holy Night." The husband is very impressed with Chet's singing abilities and watches as the manager moves the lighter underneath Chet's right foot. Chet now starts to sing "Jingle Bells, Jingle All the Way." The husband says Chet is perfect and that he'll take him. The husband rushes home to his wife and insists upon giving her this wonderful gift immediately. He presents Chet and starts to explain the parrot's special talent. Demonstrating, he holds a lighter under Chet's left foot and the bird sings "Silent Night." He then moves the lighter under the right foot and Chet lets loose a round of "Jingle Bells." The wife is absolutely impressed, and with a mischievous grin asks her husband what happens if he holds the lighter between Chet's legs instead. Curious the husband moves the lighter between the bird's legs, and the bird begins to sing - Chet's nuts Roasting on an Open Fire!

Aviation 101
Takeoff's are optional. Landings are mandatory.
If God meant man to fly, He'd have given him more money.
If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger, if you pull the stick back they get smaller. (Unless you keep pulling the stick back - then they get bigger again)

An exhibitionist had booked an a flight from New York to London on British Air. At the departure lounge, the man stood nervously near the boarding gate, waiting for the flight to be called. When the PA announcement was finally made, he walked briskly up the jetway. At the end of the jetway stood a stewardess, collecting tickets. When it was his turn to hand over his ticket, he opened his coat and exposed himself.
With typical British reserve the stewardess said, "I'm sorry sir, but you must to show your ticket and boarding pass here, not your stub."

Share this with a friend! You Know You're A Pilot When...
You're driving along in your car and you look for emergency landing spots.
Every time you hear an airplane, you have to look up or look out the window to see what's flying over... and then wish you were up there with 'em!
You get in your car, put the key in the ignitions, and reach for the checklist.
You drive off a cliff, and your last words are, "Gear up!"
You pull back when you reach 60 mph.
You start up a steep hill and pull back on the wheel.
You know you're a Cherokee pilot when you apply the parking brake as you turn into your driveway.
The weather sucks, so you stay inside poring over sectionals and occasionally telling your SO: "Hey, you know where we should go?"
You turn on the "pitot heat" in cold, damp weather only to find you've just pulled the knob off your car radio.
You are shocked back to reality when your car doesn't turn left as you depress the clutch pedal.
It scares you when your "airspeed" indicator says "75" and you're still on the ground.
You swerve into the oncoming lane to keep from hitting your "wingtip" on a light pole.
You find yourself "maintaining the centerline" as you drive down a country road where the two lanes are separated by a single yellow line.
One of your non-flying friends says, "Can't you say just one complete sentence that does not have to do with flying?" (And you can't.)
When you start driving with the car centered on the solid yellow lines.
Every time you see a bird in the corner of the windscreen you check for possible conflict of flight paths.
You hit the brake in your car when you turn left and accelerate when you turn right.
When you get into the passenger seat and wonder what's missing.
You know you're a pilot when you sit in the passenger seat and look at the sky. Especially if you see a news chopper and call out "Traffic, 2 o'clock high, helo." You know a pilot is driving if (s)he looks for it.
Someone pulls right out in front of you in traffic and your first instinct is to pull back on the the wheel!
You yell "Clear" before starting your car.
You turn your car 45 degrees to the stop sign and "clear the approach" before proceeding into the intersection.
To slow down, you find you've pulled the cigarette lighter out.
As you get within 5 miles of your destination you want to call for clearance into the "airspace."
Instead of asking your wife for a "quickie", you ask for a "hop around the patch."
While in the car, you turn the Radio Station to figure out where you are.
You only connected to cable so you can get "The Weather Channel", and are a little aggravated that you have to pay extra for all those channels you don't ever watch.
At least 1/3 of the bookmarked web sites on your computer are weather related.
You're on a "first name" basis with the folks at the FSS.
You carry a "leatherman" in your purse in case you have to loosen a "to-tight" dipstick during preflight. (most applicable to female pilots)
Your secretary has to call you by your tail number to get your attention.
You answer the phone "N1234Z, go ahead."
You get a letter that contains jargon you don't understand-- and reply with a written IFR clearance, going on to explain that you don't understand what they are talking about any more than they understood your first paragraph. (It works... They usually call you, clarify the issue... then ask what all that stuff meant. You occasionally get another pilot, in which case you not only get your business done, but spend a great few minutes hangar flying!)
You ask for "crew quarters" when you check into a hotel.
You carry your sectionals with you when you travel commercial.
You can't leave the TV on during sex because anything televised with an airplane flying in it will interrupt your concentration.
You step on the gas peddle when making right turns, trying to make the turn coordinated.
When accelerating, step on the gas even more to counter the left yaw tendency.
Make sure the radio is off when starting the engine.
Ask the heavier passenger to sit in the front seat of your car to ensure proper CG.
You try to pull on the steering wheel as you accelerate from a stop sign.
Free the gear at the stop sign and maintain the gas pedal at 1200rpm to prevent the spark plugs from fouling.
Wonder why there are no 'max cruise', 'econ cruise' and 'normal cruise' speeds published in the manual.
Step on the clutch and gas pedal simultaneously in order to slow the craft down.
Test your foot brakes before you set off and expect your front passenger to do likewise.
Tell others never to drive below 50 on the speedometer.
Your pals ask for a spin and you tell them that your car is not designed to do so.
Drive 500ft behind a trailer for fear of its wake turbulence.
Knock into another vehicle and yet continue driving cos' that is driver's No. 1 priority.
You tell all your passengers to disembark your car when refueling at the gas station.
How about when you're driving down the road and your family calls traffic alerts every time they see another plane? And adds "traffic no factor" when appropriate.
Your other friends don't call when the weekend weather forecast is good.
If you fall asleep at parties your friends put a buzzing alarm clock in your ear to watch you jump as you have a nightmare about the stall warning going off.
You have your car window lever re-mounted on the inside roof of the car, just to the right of your head.
Your have named your children Orville, Wilbur, and Chuck, and the cat's name is Biggles.
The driveway to your house has lights down the side and a thresh-hold painted at the end.
You start filling your car tires with nitrogen.
When you start treating lane markers as centerlines.

Pilot's Hell
The following joke appeared in Reader's Digest:
Mac died at the controls of his plane and went to pilots' hell, where he found a hideous devil and three doors. The devil was busy escorting other pilots to various "hell rooms."
"I'll be right back--don't go away," said the devil, and he vanished.
Sneaking over to the first door, Mac peeked in and saw a thingypit where the pilot was condemned to forever run through pre-flight checks. He slammed that door and peeked into the second. There, alarms rang and red lights flashed while a pilot had to avoid one emergency after another. Unable to imagine a worse fate, Mac cautiously opened the third door. He was amazed to see many beautiful, scantily clad flight attendants answering to a captain's every whim. He quickly returned to his place seconds before the devil reappeared.
"Okay, Mac," said the devil, "Which door will it be, number 1 or number 2?"
"Um, I want door number 3," answered Mac.
"Sorry," said the devil. "You can't have door number 3. That's flight attendants'
