A Little Workplace Humor III
Years ago -- decades actually -- I was flying Mohawk Air to upstate New York in a DC3, a "tail-dragger." Mohawk was notoriously unreliable, and you always felt you were taking your chances when you booked. One especially tried to avoid making a reservation toward the end of the month, when the pilots had used up their legal flying time, not unlike the situation with Northwest today. This particular flight was packed. Moments before we were scheduled to depart the pilot came back into the cabin and asked for anyone who weighed more than 165 pounds to raise their hand. A number of people complied. The pilot did a quick calculation and announced that by his reckoning we should be able to take-off. Good Lord, I thought, what if some of these people are lying?

John C., this one had me falling off chair, laughing, Another for the New Yorker. Loved laughing at the commentary as well. Great!
My wife and I flew a DC_3 from puerto rico to Tortola. I told her the plane was nearly as old as we were. Great cartoon John! roger
