"Cockpit" renamed "Box Office"

[sonicboom]

Too good not to share�

While
the C-5 was turning over its engines, a female
crewman gave the G.I.s on board the usual
information regarding seat belts, emergency exits,
etc .

Finally, she said, 'Now sit back and enjoy your
trip while your captain, Judith Campbell,
and crew take you safely to Afghanistan '

An old M Sgt. sitting in the eighth row thought to
himself,

'Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman?'

When the attendant came by he said
'Did I understand you right? Is the captain
a woman?'

'Yes,' said the attendant, 'In
fact, this entire crew is female.'

'My God,' he said, 'I wish I had two double scotch and
sodas. I don't know what to think with only women up
there in the cockpit.
�
'That's another thing, Sergeant,' said the crew member,
'We No Longer Call It The Cockpit'

'It's The Box Office.'

I'm gonna go with a flashing yellow, or perhaps a steady red light on this one. Funny for the ready room (full of males)--yes. Appropriate thread--probably not.

Quit being a homo. You people and your sensitivity training need to get a life. It's funny. I'm leaving it up.

It's old....

2 guys = cockpit
1 guy. 1 girl = flight deck
2 girls = box office

alas, the man with almost 5,000 posts on a website about work is telling me to get a life. I'm sorry, I'll stop being such a pussy.

I personally like the 'Airplane will not fly straight due to crack in the pilot's seat.." or the variety of versions of that

I have a life. Making fun of people is just a collateral duty.

Seriously? Is someone likely to get "offended" by this?

Not in the Navy...the Ascot wearers??? Maybe...

The funny thing is a Marine was the offended one, and Huggy is an Ascot-Wearer. (albiet one with a cool glider-jet)

Its pretty sad my friend, but in today's PC military, yes. Now obviously ready room talk is still ready room talk (especially when there are two females in your entire community), but you still always have to do a clearing turn before dropping anything that would cause an AOM.

I was woking in the main electrical load center of a P3 when I turned to PO2 and asked her if she could hand me my wire cutters. She responded "THEY"RE FUCKING DYKES!" I never worried much about what I said around her ever again.

People don't realize that a lot of women can out cuss, out filthy talk a lot of guys. I can't count the times guys have started to tell a joke, look at me and stop what they're doing, and I have to tell them to keep going because I won't be offended. I understand that there are women out there who do get offended, but I figure I'm joining a predominantly male organization so I figure it comes with the territory. I think a good rule of thumb, whether you're part of a "minority" group or not, is let people know where your line is so others won't cross it.
