An
airline pilot wrote that on this
particular flight he had hammered his
ship into the runway really hard.
The airline had a policy which
required the first officer to stand
at the door while the passengers exited,
smile, and give them a
„Thanks for flying XYZ airline.“ He said that
in light of his bad
landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers
in the eye, thinking
that someone would have a smart comment. Finally,
everyone had
gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a
cane. She
said, „Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?“ „Why no,
Ma’am,“ said
the pilot, „what is it?“ The little old lady said, „Did
we land or
were we shot down?“
