F-15 vs C-130 Hercules

"Ears Popping"*

*Aboard a flight from L.A. to New York, Grandma Esther
was taking her very first flight.

They had only been aloft a few minutes when the elderly
lady complained to the stewardess that her ears were popping.

The girl smiled and gave the older woman some chewing
gum, assuring her that many people experienced the same discomfort.

When they landed in New York, Grandma thanked the stewardess.

"The chewing gum worked fine," she said, "but tell me,
how do I get it out of my ears?!"

"F-15 vs C-130 Hercules"*

*A couple of F-15s are escorting a C-130 Hercules, and
their pilots are chatting with the pilot of the transport
to pass the time. Talk comes around to the relative merits
of their respective aircraft.

The fighter pilots contend that their airplanes were better
because of their superior speed, maneuverability, weaponry,
and so forth, and pointed out the Hercules deficiencies in these areas.

After taking this for a while, the C-130 pilot says, "Oh
yeah? Well, I can do a few things in this old girl that
you'd only dream about."

Naturally, the fighter pilots challenge him to demonstrate.

"Just watch," comes the quick retort.

And so they watch. But all they see is that C-130
continuing to fly straight and level..

After several minutes the Hercules pilot comes back on the
air, saying "There! How was that?"

Not having seen anything, the fighter pilots reply, "What
are you talking about? What did you do?"

And the Hercules pilot replies, "Well, I got up, stretched
my legs, got a cup of coffee, then went into the back and took a leak."
