S. O. S.

[Bear Paw Jack]

A Boeing 777 wide-body jetliner was lumbering along at 800km/hour at 33000 feet when a cocky F-17 fighter jet
flashed by at Mach 2.The F17 pilot decided to show off.

On his state of the art radio (that is part of his state of the art 3D & million dollar headset), the F17 youngster told the 777 pilot, "Hey Captain, watch this!"He promptly went into a barrel roll, followed by a steep, unimaginable vertical climb.

He then finished with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier, as the F17 screamed down at
impossible G's before leveling off at almost sea level.

The F-17 pilot asked the 777 pilot what he thought of that?

The 777 pilot said, "That was truly impressive, but watch this!"The 777 chugged along for about 5 minutes at
the steady 800 km/hour, and then the 777 pilot came back on and said,
"What did you think of that?"Puzzled, the cocky F-17 pilot asked, "What the hell did you do?".

The 777 pilot chuckled and said, "I stood up, stretched my legs, walked to the back, went to the can to take a whiz,
then got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll and secured a date for the next 3 nights in a five star hotel with the lead flight attendant paid for by the company.

"LESSON OF LIFE:When you are young and foolish, speed and flash may seem like a good thing!

When you get older and smarter, comfort and dullness is not such a bad thing!

It's called S.O.S.Slower, Older and Smarter!

Dedicated to all my friends approaching the S.O.S. category...

I thought you were gonna have something to say about creamed chipped beef on toast......

When you associate SOS with creamed beef on toast, you give away your
military past. I too thought I was going to read about SOS.

I still remember the first time I saw that S#!+ on a shingle.......

The joke reminds me of the one about the Old Bull and Young bull up on the hill looking down at the herd of heifers.....

I also thought of cream chicken on toast. Then was reminded of the Bull joke. Blume beat me to it. Great minds think a like.

Your signature line Jimmy Buffet quote is one of my favorites. The other one. "A sleeping bag under a bridge by a canal is still water front property"


I didn't mind the cream chicken, but cream salmon.....yuck!

Sort of like the one about the old bull and the young bull standing on top of the hill looking at the herd of cows.

Well in the WAY back machine. I still think S O S is the best thing that came out of the Chow Hall. Great stuff which I loved made with HAMBURGER. I worked the flight line at night so the midnight meal was great
Not Chirped Beef in the USAF. Had it on mashed taters or eggs on top of it.
Wifie makes biscuits and gravy pretty close to the GI SOS. Yes we still have SOS at times. Good stuff

"I still remember the first time I saw that S#!+ on a shingle......."

Yeah, me too. We arrived at Lackland AFB for basic training halfway twixt lunch and dinner and hadn't had anything to eat. The chow hall whipped up a batch of S.O.S. on toast. I look at it and thought, "Who the hell threw up on the toast." :shock:
It's a 25 mile run to the shooting range and usually after shooting we'd hit this choke and puke on the way back to town. On Thursdays they have S.O.S. on the menu and it was good, nice and peppery. Place got closed down. Too many cases of food poisoning. My Grandson got nailed once but I always lucked out. by staying away from the specials. Maybe I'll make up some then next time I thaw out a pack of elk burger.

My second wife loved chipped beef, peas, with white sauce and black pepper aplenty. Of course she was full time NG when I married her.
