Delta Capt locked out of cockpit

[NewYorkophile]

When the captain came back up about 2 minutes later I told him what had happened and at first he was kind of annoyed but after he thought about it (and drank half of coffee #7), he told me a made a good call.

Sounds like a damn good call.

From the cockpit voice recorder...

CA: Hey, it's me. I'm ready to come back in.
FO: I can't!
CA: What to you you mean, "I can't?"
FO: Door's stuck sir!
CA: Stuck!? Surely you can't be serious!
FO: I am serious! And don't call me Shirley!

Oh please, I already have to suffer through turkey sausages, turkey burgers (which are at least edible- sort of), turkey chili, turkey tostadas and turkey meatloaf, (I have to make my own beef meatloaf or my sister will with actual ground chuck when I want one). They have turkey bacon now? Oh Lord. She wants to make turkey tacos sometime, I am just like oh lets not go there. I am not eating a damn turkey taco. I am just surprised she hasn't come up with a turkey soup yet.

So you gotta change tactics. If your wife is on the no-read-meat thing, is it because of fat or cholesterol? Either way, I've got you covered.

Bison. It's lower in fat AND cholesterol than beef, it's extremely tasty, and it satisfies the red meat craving while being considerably healthier. Yes, it's more expensive. And if she still gives you pushback, point out that red meats coupled with your exercise regimen generally improve your stamina and testosterone levels which overall make you a better husband.

You're still gonna have to swallow your share of poultry - and that's not a bad thing - curry livens up any bird. But at least this way you're playing the health card for good reason and selling the benefits for both of you. Dig?

Haha I noticed that a few weeks ago on my way to Puerto Rico, at first I just assumed a few people clapped and other joined in for peer pressure reasoning, but when it happened again on the way from SJU to JFK I realized it was essentially only Puerto Ricans doing this. Kinda makes you wonder are they used to almost dying every time they land from the past or something? I mean no issue in them clapping, but a safe landing is the norm 99.9999999% of the time.

I have seen/heard this a lot in south and central america as well. The first time it happened I was on a carrier that was shut down due to safety concerns and I thought "wow, it really is rare to land and reuse the plane...."

Trust me, I finally refused to eat them last year and the oldest grandkids followed suit. It's really hard to discern what is worse about them besides the taste....the texture, the smell or the colors of them which look like something a coyote may have yacked up in the desert somewheres. She can't figure out why no one likes them either.

I grew up as a mostly pescetarian (only eating fish). My mother felt it was a health issue and tofu was the norm (as well as something called texturized veggie protein, TVP, yes...its was HORRID). The key to making those things edible is lots of sauce and extra hot sauce. I always tried to trade the hot dogs for someone elses lunch at school. Weird no one ever wanted to trade. I still feel bad for my father, the meals she makes for him are just sad looking. I swear its one of the reasons why he travels all the time.

The day my wife dictates what I eat is the day she can take a hike.

But what about… LooOoOooooove?

In my relationship I never choose what to eat. Drives the old lady nuts that she always has to think of something. The way I look at it, don't let the guy who was happy eating frozen dinners make the choice. She's a chef man - let that artistry come up with awesome foods!!

Let me put it another way - I don't really care what is served since our palettes are the same for the most part.

That's fine, especially if she's a chef. I'm saying if I buy a steak and she says I can't eat it...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Bison works great in stews, chili, and braised dishes.

You can do a lot with poultry, it does not have to be a dry chicken breast. See Coq au Vin, of course it might not be healthy anymore, but at least you are eating the bird (and that might be all it takes to make the wife happy).

I'm pretty sure the old lady would buy the steak herself. Just say no to vegan / vegetarian.

Bird can be tasty. Foie Gras, Duck Confit, Coq au Vin, Fried Turkey

Ooh!

See if we go to The Sizzler, I'll have to buy @Maximillian_Jenius dinner.

And I'm a cheap airline captain who takes my ID and asks "YOWL GODDA AIR LYYYYYYN DISS-COWUNT?!"

One of four kids has celiac. He gets GF, the other don't. Some people just can't wrap their tiny minds around that when they hear we aren't all GF.

One of the triplets? Wait, or am I thinking of someone else equally fertile...

Yep, the boy. He got the short end. Type 1 diabetic, celiac, peanut allergy. He takes it all in stride though. Was just identified as an academically gifted child, (no idea where he got that from,) and will probably be one of those kids who graduates from college at 16. He's scary smart and is either going to save the world, or blow it up.

There's a fine line between a Marvel-esque super villain and a captain of industry!

Someone told my father that I was either going to be very successful or head a major international drug cartel.

The jury is still out.
