S O S .. No, not that kinda S O S

A Boeing 777 wide body was lumbering along at 800 km/hour 33000 feet

when a cocky F-16 fighter jet flashed by at mach 1.5.

The F16 pilot decided to show off.

On his state of the art radio that is part of his state of the art 3 D & million dollar headset the

F16 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 F16

screamed down impossible G's before leveling at almost sea level.


The F-16 pilot asked the 777 pilot "What did you think 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 & foolish -

speed & flash may seem like a good thing!

When you get older & smarter

comfort & dullness is not such a bad thing!

It's called S.O.S.

Slower, Older and Smarter!

This story is dedicated to all my friends approaching the S.O.S. category.
