It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you have just bombed.


The only time you have too much fuel is when you’re aircraft is on fire.


Flying the airplane is more important than radioing your plight to some one on the ground incapable of understanding or doing anything about it.

While most companies refrain from allowing consumption of alcohol on the premises, there are some arguments for changing that policy. Reasons for allowing drinking at work include: 1. It's an incentive to show up. 2. It reduces stress. 3. It leads to more honest communications. 4. It reduces complaints about low pay. 5. It cuts down on time off because you can work with a hangover. 6. Employees tell management what they think, not what management wants to hear. 7. It helps save on heating costs in the winter. 8. It encourages car sharing. 9. Increases job satisfaction because if you have a bad job, you don't care. 10. It eliminates holidays because people would rather come to work. 11. It makes fellow employees look better. 12. It makes the cafeteria food taste better. 13. Bosses are more likely to hand out raises when they are wasted. 14. Salary negotiations are a lot more profitable. 15. Suddenly, breaking wind during a meeting isn't so embarrassing.
