A Good Relief for Ear Pressure

"A Good Relief for Ear Pressure"

Jack Bolt - the only two-war U.S. Marine Corps ace -
was a hoot! During a commercial airline flight several
years ago, he was seated next to a young mother
with a babe in arms. When the baby began crying
during the descent for landing, the mother began
nursing the infant as discreetly as possible.

Jack pretended not to notice and, upon debarking,
he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the
various baby-related impedimenta.

When the young mother expressed her gratitude,
Bolt responded, "Gosh, that's a good looking baby...
and he sure was hungry!"

Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that
her pediatrician said suckling would help alleviate
the pressure in the baby's ears.

Jack sadly shook his head, and in true fighter pilot
fashion exclaimed,

"Damn! And all these years I've been chewing gum!"
