It was an anniversary of the Battle of Britain and a BBC TV

journalist is interviewing a elderly former American WWII fighter

pilot from the deep South.

Interviewer: So Mr. Bragg, During the Battle of Britain in 1940, I

understand that you shot down five German aircraft in a single

engagement. Could you tell us what happened?

American Fighter Pilot: "Well we were flying at 20,000 feet when we

spotted five Fokkers flying along below us. So we dived down and I

aimed at one of the Fokkers and fired a burst from my machine guns

right into him and he exploded. Then I saw that one of the Fokkers was

on my tail, so I pulled up in a loop and got behind him, and fired and he

went down on fire. I looked around and saw two Fokkers attacking my

squadron leader, so I slipped in behind them, and fired, and that was

another Fokker going down in flames. The other Fokker tried to get

away from me, but I got right up behind

him, and blasted him with my 20mm

machine guns and he turned over and

exploded. There was only one of the

Fokkers left now, and he was trying to get

away, but I flew up behind him, shot - rat

tat tat tat tat tat- and he blew up too!

Interviewer: I should point out for the benefit of the viewers at home, that

the Fokker was a type of German aircraft used in the war.

American Fighter Pilot: No, no, no - these fokkers were Messerschmitts!

Pre-Flight SAFETY Video Out of Order. Live from the cockpit:

Greetings from the cockpit... this is your captain speaking.... Our AV

system isn’t working today so we can’t show you the $2 million safety

video that an ad agency did for us.

But since very little of what that video

tells you will actually save your lives...

I’m going to do it instead.

The FAA says the 60% of you ignore

the safety talk. Today you will hear the

real safety talk that should have been

given years ago. You don’t want to miss this one.

Here’s the big thing to remember.

If we crash or make an emergency landing, statistically speaking,

95% of you will survive. If it’s a serious crash, 55% of you will

survive.

So if this plane goes down, concentrate, because your life may

depend on some smart decisions.

Keep in mind that 80% of accidents happen within the first three

minutes and the last 8 minutes of the flight, so that’s when it would be

wise to keep your shoes on and put your laptops away and stay

focused.

The safest seats on this plane are the ones facing backward like the

ones the flight crew are seated in..... No that’s not a coincidence.

The next safest seats are over the wings, closest to the emergency

exit. If you’re not in one of those right now, that’s a bummer. But

here’s what you can do to help ensure your survival.

Look where the nearest exit is. Now count the rows between you and

that exit. If the cabin were full of smoke or upside-down or full of

smoke and upside-down how would you get to the exit?

Take a moment to visualize yourself doing just that..... Now, look at

your seatbelt. I know you all know how to use it. But that’s because

nothing is making you lose your shit right now.

Its common for people in emergency stress situations to try to open

that thing by pressing a button that’s not actually there like the seatbelt

in your car.... So take a moment to imagine yourself lifting that flap in

an emergency. Good luck with a safe slight!

“Hello, this is 911, I see that you voted

to defund the police. Your call is now

being routed to the Department of Peace

and Unicorns. They will call you back in

3 to 5 business days. Have a Nice day.”

Yo Deviler~Location Vietnam: I was working in Army MACV

security when a VIP from another base called to ask to whom he should

address an important letter. Knowing my tough-to-spell last

name would give him fits, I said, “Just put down Sergeant Larry,

as my last name is too hard.”

The next day, I received a letter addressed to Sgt. Larry Tohard.
