jcbourne (Julie Bourne):
here we go again...
---
Babe I'm leaving / I'll say it once again / And somehow try to smile
I know the feeling we're trying to forget / If only for a while
'Cause I'll be lonely without you / And I'll need your love to see me through
But please believe me / My heart is in your hands / 'Cause I'll be missing you
("Babe", Styx)
---
Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
Cause I won't be there with you
("Think for Yourself", Beatles)
---
Companionship, partnership, mutual reassurance, someone to laugh with
and grieve with, loyalty that accepts foibles, someone to touch, someone
to hold your hand -- these things are "marriage," and sex is but the
icing on the cake. (Lazarus Long)

MIKSI AION TULLA ISONA?
-----------------------
Haluan tulla lent{j{ksi, kun olen kasvanut isoksi---koska se on
hauskaa hommaa ja helppoa. Sen takia on nykyisin niin paljon lent{ji{.
Lent{jien ei tarvitse k{yd{ paljon koulua, heid{n on vain opittava
lukemaan numeroita, jotta he osaisivat lukea mittareita. Luulen, ett{
heid{n pit{{ osata lukea my|s karttoja, niin ett{ he l|yt{v{t perille
jos ovat eksyksiss{.
Lent{jien on oltava rohkeita, niin etteiv{t he pel{sty, jos on
sumuista niin ettei voi n{hd{ tai jos siipi tai moottori putoaa pois,
heid{n on pysytt{v{ rauhallisina, jotta he tiet{isiv{t mit{ pit{{
tehd{.
Lent{jill{ pit{{ olla hyv{t silm{t, niin ett{ he n{kev{t pilvien l{pi,
eiv{tk{ he saa pel{t{ salamoita tai ukkosta, koska he ovat l{hemp{n{
niit{ kuin me.
Min{ pid{n my|s siit{ palkasta, jota lent{j{t saavat. He saavat
enemm{n rahaa kuin ehtiv{t kuluttaa. Se johtuu siit{, ett{ useimmat
ihmiset pit{v{t lent{mist{ vaarallisena, paitsi lent{j{t, jotka
tiet{v{t kuinka helppoa se on.
Ei siin{ ole paljon sellaista, mist{ en pit{isi, paitsi se, ett{ tyt|t
pit{v{t lent{jist{ ja kaikki lentoem{nn{t haluaisivat menn{ naimisiin
lent{jienkanssa, niin ett{ heid{n on aina ajettava ne pois jotteiv{t
ne olisi h{iri|ksi. Toivottavasti en tule ilmasairaaksi. Jos tulen
ilmasairaaksi ei minusta voi tulla lent{j{{ ja sitten minun pit{{
menn{ t|ihin.

When I was in the Blue Zoo (USAF) I worked as a satellite control officer,
often on the graveyard shift. Things were usually dead quiet, and we'd
often get to telling rather unusual stories (Huh, and you guys thought I
came by this B.S. ability naturally....). Another officer told me this
story one night:
Seems he had a friend who got out and took a job with a major airline as a
flight engineer. On one flight, the "stewardess call" light went on for
one of the lavoratories. She went to the door, knocked, and asked if
everything was all right. The answer sent her racing to the cockpit to get
the engineer.
He came back and opened the door. Seems a very fat woman had pressed the
"flush" button while sitting on the seat... and unfortunately, her amply
upholstered behind formed too good of a seal. The vacuum had locked her
down. In other words, she pottied, and she couldn't get up. :-)
He tried what the first thing any male engineer would... assumed the woman
didn't know how to use the equipment. But stabbing at the "flush" button
several times didn't seem to make a difference. He then went to the
obvious second engineering solution: he grabbed her arms, and pulled
REALLY hard. No luck.
He finally brought science... and his tool kit... into the picture:
Digging out a screwdriver, he slipped it between the seat and the, err,
"soft parts" and levered the woman upward to break the seal. That worked.
And, of course, the whole thing ended up in court.
Now, I can think of a few holes in the story. But if it were true, that
woman's hickey was probably the talk of her health club.... :-)
