Not surprised. Was heavily linked a month or so ago now. A few here had posted about it.

They love talking up their powers of attraction

I reckon you'd fit right in with the ground crew too........hahaha

Remember, it takes a uni degree to fly a plane but only a high school diploma to fix one, but never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour.

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a 'Gripe Sheet' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the Gripe Sheets before the next flight.

Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.


P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute Descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.

P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious..

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

And the best one for last..................
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

I used to develop complex financial models to value companies and then write research reports.

My favourite part of the job was once I had completed the report... Coming up with a pun to squeeze into the report headline. (yeah, no surprises there).

One of my faves was AMP Limited back in ~2007. The stock had just broken through $10 and everyone was bullish. I wasn't a fan, so I titled it 'This AMP isn't going to 11'.

I reckon my readers either had no idea or didn't care. But I loved it, and that's all that mattered ;)
 
People pick through rumours and choose what they will believe from the whole quote - 'i'll believe this because it sounds good but i wont believe this because it doesnt sound good'.....

surely you trust all the quote or dont trust any of it....

Its a bit like quoting the media:
1. person says something bad about the blues - 'that guy is an idiot and hates us'
2. Same person says something good about the blues - 'this guy said this, he is so right'

A bit like the umpiring:
1. Miss a free kick to the blues - 'this umpire hates us, always tries to get the other team to win'
2. Same umpire misses a free for the opposition - donuts

This is an amazing post.

Well... half of it, anyway...

:p

It's a classic, for sure. Reckon I saw it in email pre-web days. Bit like:


The Plan

In the beginning, there was a plan,
And then came the assumptions,
And the assumptions were without form,
And the plan without substance,

And the darkness was upon the face of the workers,
And they spoke among themselves saying,
"It is a crock of shit and it stinks."

And the workers went unto their Supervisors and said,
"It is a pile of dung, and we cannot live with the smell."

And the Supervisors went unto their Managers saying,
"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong,
Such that none may abide by it."

And the Managers went unto their Directors saying,
"It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide by its strength."

And the Directors spoke among themselves saying to one another,
"It contains that which aids plants growth, and it is very strong."

And the Directors went to the Vice Presidents saying unto them,
"It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."

And the Vice Presidents went to the President, saying unto him,
"This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor
Of the company With very powerful effects."

And the President looked upon the Plan
And saw that it was good,
And the Plan became Policy.

And this, my friend, is how shit happens.​
