A Joke for Today. “S.O.S. High in the Sky.”

A Joke for Today.  “S.O.S. High in the Sky.”

An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic.

It flies consistently at 800 km/h, at 30,300 feet, when suddenly a Euro jetfighter airplane, with a Tempo Mach 2 appears out of nowhere from the clouds.

The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: “Airbus, boring flight, isn’t it?  Now have a look here!”

He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then he swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking nosedive.

Then he loops back next to the side of the Airbus, and asks its pilot, “Well, how was that?”

Confused, the Airbus pilot radios back, “Very nice, but watch this?”

The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens.

It continues to fly straight at the same speed.  After about 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, “Well, how was that?”

Confused, the jet pilot asks, “Well, what did you do?”

The Airbus pilot laughs and answers, “I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then I got a cup of coffee and a piece of chocolate fudge pastry.

The moral of the story is this: ‘When you are young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great.  But as soon as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.’

That is called, S.O.S.: ‘Slower, Older, and Smarter!’

This is dedicated to all of my senior friends - it is time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip-feeling happy. As much as possible anyway!
