An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had
hammered
his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a
policy which
required the first officer to stand at the door while the
passengers
exited, smile, and give them a 'Thanks for flying our
airline.' He said
that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time
looking the
passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a
smart comment.
Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady
walking
with a cane.
She said, 'Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?'
'Why, no, Ma'am,' said the pilot. 'What is it?'
The little old lady said, 'Did we land, or were we shot
down?'
