That alone makes me laugh about it.

he could be squirming as he looks up at his gigantic poster, the one he hung in his dorm room in Annapolis, of all seven of the Thunderbirds in their classic Delta formation:


I mean who doesn't look at that without getting a little misty eyed and saying "be all you can be!!!"

Nothing can get fixed that the Lobbiests don't want fixed, and they like it the way it is right now. When money talks, politicians listen. Oh, and now that Corporations are Peple too...well, what chance do we the people have, to have our voices heard, when it comes to campaign contributions?

All of this military talk reminds me of all that I missed out on while flying the



Beech 1900C for Delta Express.

We didn't even have an autopilot in those things.

But you know, it was during those times flying in and out of our in Cleveland, looking out over the mountains, that I had my most religious experiences. I'd harken back to those first verses in the beginning of the Bible, Exodus chapter 12, and recite them: "And John the Baptist said, once upon a time..."

Hey, didn't your mom ever tell you it's not nice to pick on the -slow- kids?

Reminds me of the story I heard about the engine shop mechanic (I believe in Augusta) who did some simple math and realized these



$800,000 airplanes have $4 million dollars worth of engines hanging on them.

He quit his job and went out and made a lot of money.

Or so I heard.

Yeah, but mom didn't know that all humor was based upon picking on someone's deficiency.

Someone on this board has washed his hands for the seventh time today.

Thats OK. B-1s have sunk as many submarines as S-3s.
