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 into 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 along for about 5 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.'

The F-16 pilot had to have turned green with envy.
Comfort & dull works for me.
I am not exactly old and I try not to be dull, but I get it.
you know, us old folken used to be able to do the same thing in our Winnabagos and super vans, too...
If that F-16 pilot is still around in 20 years he'll understand.
I SO feel like a C-130.
It's a C-130 life for me.
Ha!!! That is great.
Reminds me of the cruise control stories.
slow and steady wins the race!!c
BB and I were just talking about that--I used to say I wanted to live fast and die young, but now I want to live long and prosper. I wanted to be wild--but now dull's not such a bad thing! Not at all..
