Basic rules of flying  

If you are planning on becoming a pilot. Here are some basic rules that should always be followed while flying.

1. Always try to keep the number of landings you make equal to the number of take offs you've made.

2. Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory.

3. Flying isn't dangerous. It’s Crashing that’s dangerous.

4. It s always better to be down here wishing you were up there than up there wishing you were down here.

5. There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately no one knows what they are.

6. The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating.

7. When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky.

8. A good landing is one from which you can walk away. A great landing is one after which they can use the plane again.

9. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.

10. You know you’ve landed with the wheels up if it takes full power to taxi to the ramp.

11. The probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of arrival. Large angle of arrival, small probability of survival and vice versa.

12. Good judgment comes from experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgment.

14. There are old pilots and there are bold pilots. There are, however, no old, bold pilots.

15. In the ongoing battle between objects made of aluminium going hundreds of miles per hour and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to lose. 

Children's notes to God  

A nun asked her class to write notes to God. Here are some of them. 

Dear God,
I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday. That was cool. 

Dear God,
Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't you just keep the ones you have? 

Dear God,
Maybe Cain and Abel would not have killed each other so much if they had their own rooms. That's what my Mom did for me and my brother. 

Dear God,
If you watch me in church on Sunday, I'll show you my new shoes. 

Dear God,
I bet it is hard for you to love everybody in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I'm having a hard time loving all them. 

Dear God,
In school they told us what you do. Who does it when you're on vacation? 

Dear God,
Are you really invisible or is it just a trick? 

Dear God,
Is it true my father won't go to Heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house? 

Dear God,
Did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident? 

Dear God,
Who draws the lines around the countries? 

Dear God,
I went to this wedding and they kissed right in the church. Is that OK? 

Dear God,
Did you really mean "do unto others as they do unto you?" Because if you did, then I'm going to get my brother good. 

Dear God,
Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy. 

Dear God,
Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up. 

Dear God,
You don't have to worry about me;  I always look both ways. 

Dear God,
I think about you sometimes, even when I'm not praying. 

Dear God,
Of all the people who work for you I like Noah and David the best. 

Dear God,
My brother told me about being born, but it doesn't sound right.  They're just kidding, aren't they? 

Dear God,
I would like to live 900 years just like the guy in the Bible. 

Dear God,
We read that Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday school they said you did it. So I bet he stole your idea.

A man feared his wife was not hearing as well as she used to, and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.  

"Here's what you do," said the doctor. "Stand about 40 feet away from her and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."  

That evening, the wife was in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the front room. He said to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away. Let's see what happens." In a normal tone he asked,  

"Honey, what's for dinner?"   No response.  

 
So the husband moved closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife, and repeated,  

 
"Honey, what's for dinner?"   Still no response.  

 
Next he moved into the dining room where he was about 20 feet from his wife and asked,  

 
"Honey, what's for dinner?"   Again, no response.  

 
So, he walked up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away.  

 
"Honey, What's for dinner?"   Again, there was no response.  

 
So he walked right up behind her.  

 
"Honey, what's for dinner?"
 

"Jim, for the 5th time,  CHICKEN!"
