A Lockheed 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," as he went into a barrel roll followed by a near vertical climb. He then finished with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier. The F-16 pilot then asked the C-130 pilot, "What do you think of that?"
The C-130 pilot replied, "That was pretty impressive. Now watch this."
For the next 7 minutes, the C-130 droned along its course. Then the C-130 pilot came back on the radio, " Well what did you think of that?"
The puzzled F-16 pilot replied,"Think of what? You did NOTHING."
The Hercules pilot replied, " Well, I got out of my seat, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft, used the loo and got myself a steaming mug of coffee and a cinnamon roll. Cheers!"
When you are young and impetuous, speed and flash may be the thing to do. However, as you grow older (and smarter) you adopt a lifestyle of comfort and grace. It is called S.O.S.
Slower, Older, Smarter.
