A C-130 freight airplane was lumbering along when a cocky F-16 pilot flashed by. The jet jockey decided to show off.
The fighter jock told the C-130 pilot, Watch this! -- and he promptly went into a barrel role, followed by a steep climb. He then finished with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier. The F-16 pilot asked the C-130 pilot what he thought of that.
The C-130 pilot said, That was impressive. But watch this!
The C-130 droned on for about 5 minutes and then the C-130 pilot came back on the radio and said, What did you think of that?
Puzzled, the F-16 pilot asked, What the hell did you do?
The C-130 pilot chuckled and said, I stood up, stretched my legs, walked to the back, went to the bathroom, then got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon bun.
When you're young and foolish, speed and flash may seem a good thing. When you get older and smarter, comfort and dull is not such a bad thing!
