A Boeing 777 wide-body jetliner was lumbering along at 800km/hour at 33000 feet when a cocky F-16 fighter jet flashed by at Mach 2.
The F-16 pilot decided to show off.
On his state of the art radio that is part of his state of the art 3D & million dollar headset, the F-16 youngster told the 777 pilot, *“Hey Captain, watch this!”*
He promptly went into a barrel roll, followed by a steep, unimaginable, vertical climb. He then finished with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier, as the F-16 screamed down at impossible G’s before levelling at almost sea level.
The F-16 pilot asked the 777 pilot what he thought of that?
The 777 pilot said, *“That was truly impressive, but watch this!”*
The 777 chugged along for about 5 minutes at the steady 800km/hour, and then the 777 pilot came back on and said, *“What did you think of that?”*
Puzzled, the cocky F-16 pilot asked, *“What the heck did you do?”*
The 777 pilot chuckled and said, *"I stood up, stretched my legs, walked to the back, used the toilet, then got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll and secured a date for the next 3 nights in a five star hotel paid for by the company"*
LESSON OF LIFE:
When you are young and foolish, speed and flash may seem like a good thing!
When you get older and smarter, comfort and dullness is not such a bad thing!
It's called *S.O.S.*
*Slower, Older and Smarter !*
Dedicated to all my friends approaching S.O.S.
...."Don't take life too seriously.
No one gets out alive anyway."..
