A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and health department paperwork, and was burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic.He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could.

 

When the time of the practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill.

 

When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the Instructor, saying, "I don't want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an error in the grade?"

 

"The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark." After a pause, the instructor added, "I gave you an extra 50% because you did it all through the muffler, which I've never seen done in my entire career"..

I thought it was the UNION that copped the bill.Alan.

Welcome wlday18.

Good to see you sticking with it over the years, and it looks like its taking shape nicely.

Look forward to seeing pictures of the finished job and the smile on your face.

yep caught it on 7 news in Sydney, great to see Hans and of course Dick Smith, and the way he described the trip, it's been our thoughts all along, the only disappointment was the way Chris Bath said that he flew a wheel chair or likened his trike to a motor mower with a wing, but i was really happy to see that someone at least recognised what a great trip and what a remarkable man, i will endeavour to let all from Newcastle know is he's up for a meal depends on the notice we get, he does seem to do things spontaneously and when the weather and permits are ok....Eric

Hang your head in shame Chris Bath (Alias Richard Cranium):csm:

P.S. Just googled Chris Bath. I knew the name but did'nt realise she was a woman. Pity she does'nt have much of a brain unlike our Flightygirl, FlyingVista Sue, or, Darky.

Planey got to meet him and offer his congratulations.

What an achievment!

Thanks winsor, i'll duck up the road to see if I can see him.

It would be great to offer my congratulations personally

Is he heading to Bankstown?

At St. Peter's Catholic Church in New York , they have weekly husbands'

marriage seminars.

At the session last week, the priest asked Giuseppe, who said he was

approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and

share some insight into how he had managed to stay married to the same

woman all these years.

Giuseppe replied to the assembled husbands, 'Wella, I'va tried to

treat her nicea, spenda da money on her, but besta of all is, I tooka

her to Italy for the 25th anniversary!'

The priest responded, 'Giuseppe, you are an amazing inspiration to all

the husbands here! Please tell us what you are planning for your wife

for your 50th anniversary?'

Giuseppe proudly replied, " Ima gonna go back againa to pick her up."

This guy gets a bucket-load of adrenalin during this flight experience.

Hang on to your seat and enjoy the ride in these clips.

Thanks for the reply Darren, am I to assume by the avitar that you've taken up flying a Hills Hoist. If you don't get a reply for a while, i'm heading off on my first cruise tommorow. Rgds Alan

Nice pics Darren.

The first gives one the shivers, but the second is awesome.

Keep well.

Canary Yellow Foxbat LS with tundra's sitting on the strip with 21 hrs on the clock and all I can say is YeeeeeHa!This thing is a blast!!

 

Anyone who thinks that 172's are the only bush aircraft to fly needs to have a whirl in a WolfRat; doesn't matter much what you do, this thing is Solid.

 

Looking forward to getting to know it better.

 

Also thumbs up to Jim Nesbit who did the GA to RA-Aus conversion in Broken Hill; Very talented instructor, even if he does have a magnetic attraction to cross-wind landings!

 

Hours hours here I come.

Kind Regards

Sadly, I know from my experience involved with the security industry, these bast---ds get to know that if the stuff is insured, and three or or four weeks later it's all been replaced by the insurance company, ( if you were that lucky) and they they want a second bite at the cherry.

So be warned as iv'e seen it on so many occasions

.

Wadya Freaks going on about?

I don't give a stuff about how many bosses I have.

I'm proud to work for the local Council and i'm still in the pub by 3.30pm sharp.

Good stuff!

My kind of music.

eBay Scam Alert

Be careful what you purchase on eBay.

A friend spent $80 on a male member enlarger.

The rip-off merchant sent a magnifying glass.

Instructions said don't use in the sunlight.

From his hospital bed, he said he wished he had read that bit earlier.

As Air Force One arrives at Heathrow Airport, President Obama proudly strides to a warm and dignified reception from the Queen.

They are driven in a 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London, where they change to a magnificent 17th century state carriage hitched to six white horses. They continue on towards Buckingham Palace, waving to the thousands of cheering Britons; all is going well.

Suddenly the right rear horse lets fly with the most horrendous earth shattering passing of wind ever heard in the British Empire. The smell is atrocious and both passengers in the carriage must use handkerchiefs over their noses. It literally shook the coach, but the two dignitaries of State do their best to ignore the incident.

The Queen turns to President Obama, " Mr. President, please accept my regrets... I am sure you understand there are some things that even a Queen cannot control."

Obama, always trying to be "Presidential," replied: "Your Majesty, do not give the matter another thought... Until you mentioned it, I thought it was one of the horses."

*Two Woodpeckers*

So, this Mexican woodpecker and a Canadian woodpecker were in Mexico arguing about which country had the toughest trees. The Mexican woodpecker claimed Mexico had a tree that no woodpecker could peck.

The Canadian woodpecker accepted his challenge and promptly pecked a hole in the tree with no problem. The Mexican woodpecker was amazed.

The Canadian woodpecker accepted his challenge and promptly pecked a hole in the tree with no problem. The Mexican woodpecker was amazed.

The Canadian woodpecker then challenged the Mexican woodpecker to peck a tree in Canada that was absolutely 'impeccable' (a term frequently used by woodpeckers ).

The Mexican woodpecker expressed confidence that he could do it and accepted the challenge.

The two of them flew to Canada where the Mexican woodpecker successfully pecked

the so-called 'impeccable' tree almost without breaking a sweat....

Both woodpeckers were now terribly confused. How is it that the Canadian woodpecker

was able to peck the Mexican tree, and the Mexican woodpecker was able to peck

the Canadian tree, yet neither was able to peck the tree in their own country?

After much woodpecker pondering, they both came to the same conclusion:

Apparently, Tiger Woods and Shane Warne were right, when they said,

"your pecker gets harder when you're away from home".

But with a bit of your "bravo siera"expertise, telling her it looks better than it has for years, and has obviously pushed the property value up, you'll be right for sure:thumb_up:.

providing of course you haven't been having those nanna naps for years, while she's done it.

Looks a lovely spot to spend a few days, even if you did'nt see any whales.

Most of those light-houses are situated in places where you can forget the rest of the world, mobile phones and the like, and simply enjoy the peace and tranquility.

Saw the "great white whale" off Gabo Island when we were there in October last year. Incidentally, the flights from Mallacoota onto and off (C172 RG II Cutlass) were particularly spectacular.[ATTACH=full]14279[/ATTACH]

What is the picture of?

You obviously had a whale of a time. Thanks for posting the pics Rob, Brilliant stuff!

Frank,Well, I hope to be flying for a lot more years to come. But fate will decide that. I was very lucky - 13 skull fractures and now 7 plates holding the noggin together Peter

Don't worry about the plates in the head mate, that might be an advantage one day-------my old dad had a motorcycle accident many years ago and he had plates in his head, leg and arm. He reconned that if he died without a penny in the bank to leave us, us kids should still get something for him for scrap.

have to agree with you there planey a whole new meaning to well hung (sorry)
