Virtue of high and not so high speed.

F-16 vs. C-130
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, took a leak,

then got a cup of coffee and a

bacon roll.'

When you are young & foolish -

speed & flash may seem a good thing !!!

When you get older & smarter - comfort is no bad thing !!!

Us older folks understand this one.

+1 David! Hard exercise today and really feeling it. If I were a man of substantial means I would simply pay someone to workout for me!
