There are certain things you shouldn’t joke aboutCertain things that should be off limits, in a civilized discourse. And the attendant indignities of the flight physical? At my age? Definitely one of them. Which doesn’t stop the SteeljawScribe, that rough beast. Oh. The humanity. 19 comments to There are certain things you shouldn’t joke about |

Such is the serendipitous effect of the ‘net, archives and a random arrival of a cartoon in the mail. Too tempting a target to pass up. Fear not though, I’ll get mine in the end later this month…

Lex,
To which I would add…
There seemed to me to be an inordinate number of female flgiht surgeons gravitating towards the Navy. All out of proportion to what one would consider the ratio to rightfully be.
Any thoughts on that?
Smaller fingers perhaps?
Why is it this whole conversation gives me visions of Chevy Chase singing “Moon River”?
Let me help you put things into perspective: You.Get.To.Fly.Navy.Jets.
Lady Flight Surgeons? It just aint right! Not unless there’s a kiss involved somewhere.
I’ve always wondered how the patient feels when my old flight surgeon (who’s a smokin’ hottie) has to do it, do they offer her money? heh heh
Fontessa, actually its
You.Use.To.Fly.Jets
Dang, I wish I could fly that cartoon to link to. Thought it was SJS that posted it but couldn’t find it on his site… Anyone??
God I love and miss Calvin & Hobbes. Only reason to ready the funny papers. And in this context?
Priceless.

LOL
Thanks. Priceless!
And very nicely hyperlinked too, I might add!
Thanks Michelle. I remembered that in the middle of the night. Sorry, Lex. But you have “danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings” and the annual prod is a small price to pay even if you have to keep paying it.
Seifeldian Angst? Yo Yo Ma!
Kris,
Couldn’t agree with you more about Calvin and Hobbes. I have a sweet natured Corgi named Hobbes because everyone should have a Hobbes in their life.
This post and it’s resultant thread is a real bummer… strongly suggest its termination with extreme prejudice… Best
I think we connect so well w/Calvin & Hobbes because we see a bit of ourselves (well, some of us see way more of ourselves)in the characters therein. For example, sans Tiger, I well remember jumping off the roof with the blanket parachute (can you say streamer?) cannonballing down the hill on a sled in an attempt to fly over the street (didn’t work) and the doctor visits (see above)…and as a Dad, I’m reminded of these foibles by my own progeny, one of whom has substantially sub-summed that particular warped gene and the lead foot that accompanies it :/

I definetely identify with Calvin’s EEEVVILLL Dad.
My son sez I’m just as cruel and heartless.
Guess its a Dad thing
AW1 Tim ~ I would think the reason behind the increase in the number of female flight surgeons in the Navy would be obvious…heh. Good looking men in uniform who fly jets for a living. Mmmm…
Fontessa ~ that is one of my favorite poems.
SJS ~ Not only do I love C&H for the trips down memory lane (my blanket parachute didn’t work either) but I also love it for the parenting tips! My poor, poor children!
Ah, C’mon, boys!! You are big, tough men! We little, delicate female-type critters have to have a YEARLY exam, both digital and with cold metal instruments…and they get us from front and back, so what are you complaining about??
perhaps I should not post this, or should change my name and hide when those big tough boys read it?
ah, what the heck!
No, doorkeeper, you were right to post that. The obvious physical differences between the boys and girls are just amusing to those of an easy-going temperament, it’s the subtle differences of the sexes between the ears which cause most of the trouble, IMHO.
