Thanks for steering things back in the right direction "Gunny" 
But before we go, let me leave one lasting thought for all of those folks out there.
The best pilots that I have flown with aren't the ones that are hung up on gender or race. In fact, some of the best aviators that I know are female. They don't think of themselves as women in the career field. They don't try to prove something to others to "justify their career as a woman". They just fly. They consider themselves pilots- not male, female, black, white, asian, hispanic, etc.
Those folks that do get hung up on ethnicity or gender are the ones that I've found to be the most INsecure in their abilities. They are also the same folks that I personally wouldn't hire if I ever started my own company...

Alright, no more silliness guys. Back to subject. I would hate for this to be closed. Got this off the internet as I am too tired to think of anything now
"Pushing Tin":
Nick Falzone: (to Russell Bell) I'm personally going to see to it that you go down in flames!
Airplane Pilot: What?
Nick Falzone: Negative, United. That was not to you. Not to you!
CO569: What was that thin that just passed overhead?
ATC: Over or under?
CO569: Over
ATC: Uhm, I don't have anything in your area
CO569: I'm looking at his contrail right now, looked like an F16
Random aircraft listening in: *wispy voice* It was me....
ATC, the TED pilots, and several passengers in the cabin laughed
One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of the active runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee. Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, "What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?" The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: "I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one."

I had student once screw up so bad it was amusing. The call sign was 34D. The student was supposed to say to "approach 34D checking in level 3000'." Instead he said "ahh..... Delta ahh....... holding short 3000" Controller came back laughing and said if you can hold short at 3000' you must be a pretty good pilot" I couldn;t say anything I just laughing too hard.
