On a recent business trip, I was having lunch with the customer in a food court near his offices. We talked of our careers, including my days in the Air Force when I was right out of college.
A women near us leaned in and asked if she had heard that I had been in the military. I confirmed and she told me of her husband’s military aviation career and of an aviation museum nearby she suggested I visit.
As we were getting up to leave, I asked her if she knew the answer to the old question, “How do you know if there’s a pilot in the room?” She quickly finished the joke with the reply, “Oh, you don’t have to wonder. They’ll tell you.”
But then she turned the conversation back on me by asking if I knew how to tell if you’re on a date with a pilot? She answered with “When they say, ‘But enough about me, now let’s talk about airplanes.’”
I love meeting people!
