Comfort Before Speed!

A C-130 was lumbering along when a cocky F-16 flashed by. The jet jockey decided to show off.


The fighter jock told the C-130 pilot, "Watch this!" and promptly went in to a barrel roll followed by a steep climb. He then finished with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier. The F-16 pilot asked the C-130 pilot what he thought of that.

The C-130 pilot said, "That was impressive, but watch this!" The C-130 droned on for about five minutes and then the C-130 pilot came back on and said, "What did you think of that?" Puzzled the F-16 pilot asked, "What the heck did you do?" The C-130 pilot chuckled. "I stood up, stretched my legs, walked to the back, went to the bathroom,then got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon bun."
When you are young and foolish - speed and flash may seem a good thing!
When you get older and smarter - comfort and dull is not such a bad thing!
