Nervous Flyer

"Fired"

When Peters learned that he was being
fired, he went to see the head of human
resources. "Since I've been with the firm
for so long," he said, "I think I deserve at
least a letter of recommendation."

The human resources director agreed and
said he'd have the letter that next day. The
following morning, Peters found the letter
on his desk.

It read, "Jonathan Peters worked for our
company for eleven years. When he left
us, we were very satisfied."

"Nervous Flyer"

A man has an hour before his flight to Los
Angeles. He decides to kill some time at
an airport bar. He walks in and sits down
next to a clearly nervous guy, who has three
empty whisky glasses in front of him. The
man introduces himself to the nervous guy,
and buys him a drink.

The man asks, "Nervous about flying?"

The nervous guy replies, "N-n-nervous? I'm
t-terrified. I j-just know the p-plane is
g-going t-to crash and we're g-going to d-die."

"Is this your first time flying?"

"N-no, I fly c-cross-c-country all the t-time. It's
m-my job."

"Why don't you just ask your boss if you can
drive cross-country?"

"H-he would never l-let me do that."

"Why not?" asks the man.

The nervous guy replies, "B-because,
I'm the p-pilot."
