story time?
Ok my turn.. Was back in 2000.. I was working on the mobile tactical high energy laser (MTHEL) project out a HELSTF.. Which is about 60 miles in the middle of no where! We had a small group of engineers, and after a few years we were pretty tight group. That is to say the jokes got pretty raw sometimes! Good fun.. Well one day our project lead (boss) pulled us into a room and had this funny look on his face.. He started in saying.. Ah, guys, I think we need to tone it down a bit. Than he went on to say that we are getting a new guy in next week, some analysis guy to help out with the work load. At that point, I was just joking, but said.. 'what is he gay?'.. Well than the boss really started to squirm around.. At that point we all knew he knew but could not say. So the new guy showed up, he was fine, no problem fit right in. Heck he could dish out the jokes as well as take em!
But the one that sticks out in my memory the most.. See we where in the middle of no where, you had to bring your lunch everyday because there was no where to eat from 60 miles. So we had to pass the time alot waiting on stuff.. So we all started playing hackie sack.. Well one day we were in the circle playing.. And I had just bought these funcky slipper looking sprts shoes from Walmart. I thought they would be great, didnt have any laces to lace up, just pull em on and go. Well.. truth be told them shoes were 'ghay' looking.. And one of the guys in the hackie sack circle (not the gay one) looked at my shoes and said.. 'Jezz Grant them shoes are GAY!' at which point he rememberd the gay guys (wont name names) was stanging right next to him! At which point he turned to the gay guy and said.. 'Oh man, sorry, I didn't mean it li' And before he could finish the gay guy looked at him and said 'Don't worrie, I wouldnt even wear them gay shoes!'
See.. now if all gay guys were like that.. There would be no problems! It is the militant wear it on thier sleeve everyone notice me and accept me or else gays I have issues with.. Heck gay or not I have issues with any militant group that wears it on thier sleeve everyone notice me and accept me or else types

That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
