We fly a couple different a/c each day... some pilots are slobs yes. That is where handi-wipes come in... um, handi?
My daughters classes have me come in as well, I wear the uniform and the kids think it is the sh## too. Unfortunately, due to media and peoples irrational fears, it takes about 2 minutes for the conversation to turn to "have you ever crashed?" "have you ever been on fire?" "are you afraid of dying in a crash?"...
Kids are freaking morbid... really.
You aint kidding. I was doing CD like 2 years ago for my wife's (then girlfriend's) 5th grade class. So, I finish my little presentation on the ship, my job, navy life, etc etc and I open up the floor for questions. I did CD for like 4 years in a row and I always get the question "Have you ever shot anyone?" but this one kid was especially morbid. He started off asking
"How does it feel to kill someone?"
"I dont know, I have never had to use that type of force"
A few kids ask random questions, then the morbid kid asks...
"If you killed someone, would you get in trouble?"
"If that someone was a threat to myself, my ship, the navy, then no."
A few more kids ask questions and the whole time the morbid kid had his hand up but I purposly did not select him because I know he is going to ask another wierd question. So, now he is the only kid with his hand up and I take his final question.
"If you had to kill someone what do they do with the body of the guy you shot?" At this point I simply thanked the kids, gathered my items, and departed the classroom. Talk about a future serial killer!
