I worked with an aircraft electronics technician once and he said " This thing doesnt have to fly to the moon" I think he was kidding but it kind of made me wonder anyway.

A painter saw me washing my hands the other day at my truck and asked if I had an extra towel.

Him: "You guys are lucky you don't have to get dirty like we do."

Me: "If we don't get dirty, then why is my trucked stocked with cleaning supplies you are borrowing."

Him: "Oh. I guess you're right."

I worked with an aircraft electronics technician once and he said " This thing doesnt have to fly to the moon" I think he was kidding but it kind of made me wonder anyway.

I sat on a plane that was delayed because they had to change pilots. When the new pilot finally got on board he said, "Sorry for the delay folks, but don't you worry. I'm gonna fly this thing like it was rented."

That was reassuring.:roll:

From an inspector more than once.

"Well that's the way I prefer to see it done" me "Really? Well then you should write your own code book."

From an electrician, "Well it is in the Code Book."

Well show me and they NEVER DO.
