As you may have established from the last few cartoons, I’m not a fan of flying in airplanes. I’m not afraid and I do enjoy it to some extent. However, there is always the thought it’s a long way to free-fall before the big smack-down.
Being a mechanical sort, I take note of all probable issues a plane might have… My expertise always spots a missing rivet on the wing. Engine noise is my specialty. I always knew when my parent’s furnace was going to blow up. It never did, but I was convinced it would one day.
Ironically, I do not panic or cause a ruckus. I’m really quite brave, so I shut up and deal. Unless something is drastically wrong, like the wing has fallen off, I won’t mention it.
I will say this… If the plane I’m in is going down, you want that black box hooked up to me. I am going to be far more entertaining in the face of impending doom than any of the pilots. In the face of disaster, the sarcasm quotient goes up exponentially. The play-by-play would be hysterical… and my last laugh!
Eat Cookies, Hunt Ghosts, Fly High with a Vengeance – NO FEAR!
