Moral: Don't go to the Majors! Hide in the Bush and Hunt and Trap! Chase wild women but don't catch them! Don't volunteer for anything!:headbanger:

Well said iquitos! I think a universal truth that comes out of this is that ambition is the source of most of man's discontent.....

Divorcing the 1st, " boring wife" was his mistake. Chasing women always leads to trouble.

Actually I know a pilot who has done about half of that list........:eek:

Lucky for him he retired from Overseas flights and now is flying for a local company...... he told me he gets paid the same but does half the work.

But the poor bugger has to fly his boss up to his home in Canada all the time to go fishing.... while he's there his boss "makes" him go fishing with him.....:xxrotflmao: Usually they stay for a week at a time......... why didn't I go into the Air Force and learn to fly...........:o :xxrotflmao:

During the winters he flys them down to the Bahamas to their winter home..... again he has to stay there with them..... poor bugger.......

i think that aplies to just about every man and not just pilots. my father had two wives...
first my mother good woman but he messed up.
second wife a total nutcase...needed father for her little boy who has downsyndrome, poor little guy. she wanted dad to live on welfare and stay home. dad wanted to work, she wanted to go to church...end of story is she is caught in bed with the preacher one of the paritioners has heartattack...short time latter dad divorces her and has learned his lesson.
moral of the story is when your young find a nice lady and MAKE IT WORK!

There's an old c&w song, "I just need you for the night" or something like that. I lived like that for many years after my second wife, now I'm to old to chase anymore so I finally settled down five years ago. Rad
