ChrisL 2 #20 December 6, 2007 Quote I think someone may get fired from their job.Bobbi Well if its a man they will probably give him a slap on the wrist. If its a woman they will probably beat her to death with rocks out on the runway. Course its probably a man. Women probably aren't allowed to fly because they might have to talk to an unrelated man, and then they'd have to beat her to death with stones out on the runway.__ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
