Humor- (except For Those In Ccy)

[tadjr]

The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1,000 bet.

The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out
would win the money. Many people had tried over time -- weightlifters, longshoremen, etc., but nobody could do it.

One day a man came in wearing glasses and a suit, and said in a tiny, squeaky voice, "I'd like to try the bet."

After the laughter had died down, the bartender said okay, grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away. He then handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man.

But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six more drops of juice fell into the glass.

As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid him the $1000, and asked the man, "What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weightlifter, or what?"

The man replied, "I'm the CEO of US Airways."

What is the difference between God and a Pilot?

God does not think he can fly an airplane.

I would tend to agree with you but lets not forget other varibles involved here.

How much tax did that F/O pay, does he also have state tax to worry about, maybe NY or CA.

We also pay more for our medical and dental as well as money paid for other "Benefits".

Then there is the big one, ALPA dues.That's a nice chunk of change and in just a few weeks were are going to be paying another assessment for the merger.

$73,000 a year should be a nice salary to live on but as time goes by things get more expensive and prices go up and your salary goes down. Earning power is gone as well as purchasing power.

It just seems that everyone out there wants just a little bit more from your wallet.

Is the keyword here "minimum"? Does that mean whether you work or not? Hell, 73,000 for staying home or being on call for a few days a week. Not bad pay. And please don't give me the hours away from home, blah, blah, blah crap. Everyone makes a choice. Everyone at U has been hurt by the paycuts and more contributions to benefits. The way I see it anymore, if you don't work for some form of local, state or federal government or have your hand in the pool of taxpayers monies somehow, just plan on working your a$$ off till your dead!

How do you get a furloughed pilot off of your front porch?

Why did medical universities start using management in their experiments, rather than lab rats?

You don't get as attached to management, and there are some things a lab rat won't do!

I bet this was taken from the halls of CCY!

A company, feeling it was time for a shake-up, hires a new CEO. This new boss is determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO notices a guy leaning on a wall. The room is full of workers and he wants to let them know he means business! The CEO walks up to the guy and asks, "And how much money do you make a week?"

A little surprised, the young fellow looks at him and replies, "I make $300.00 a week. Why?" The CEO then hands the guy $1,200 in cash and screams, "Here's four weeks pay, now GET OUT and don't come back!"

Feeling pretty good about his first firing, the CEO looks around the room and asks, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here?" With a sheepish grin, one of the other workers mutters, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's.
