An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic, flying consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.
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 swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus after 15 minutes of this and asks: "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?
Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"
The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."
The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seem to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.
Nothing. @1630Boston knows our station in life. @Smuge —That name rings out! @Watchtower—somewhat, but half or less of the rich do that or want half or less of your pennies, whichever comes first.
Between posing and answering, I carried $13,000 of deck lumber two hundred feet down a rocky, stumpy path, drank a Jai-Alai, and fired two bowls of select with the deliverers. Sorry for the delay.
This is a great riddle. I could not formulate a guess when I learned it, though:
You come to a fork in the path
One way you live,
One way you die.
There are two men there.
One is a liar,
One is honest.
You can ask one question. One question, not two, one.
You can ask either man the one question that you can ask
Council: I wish that I had not learned the answer, so that I could ponder until I got it.
It’s not hard.
One night, a lady stumbled into the police station with a black eye. She claimed she heard a noise in her back yard and went to investigate. The next thing she knew, she was hit in the eye and knocked out cold.
An officer was sent to her house to investigate, and he returned 1-1/2 hours later with a black eye.
"Did you get hit by the same person?" his captain asked.
"No," he replied. "I stepped on the same rake."

Nothing.
Every single penny that poor man has!
Nothing.
@1630Boston knows our station in life. @Smuge —That name rings out! @Watchtower—somewhat, but half or less of the rich do that or want half or less of your pennies, whichever comes first.
