Refering to me as a loon is an insult. That's why I responded in
kind.

As I told you before the loon comment was in a bird pun in response to a bird
joke. You DO know a loon is a bird, don't you? If not look it up.

In the old days pilots would often fly with a cat and a goose.

This is an Urban Legend. Geese were never used, as they *love* to fly in
the
fog. Ducks were required.

Yep. For one thing, geese will fly upside down, while a duck will avoid
inverted flight. If ducks fly upside down, they quack up.

Ron Wanttaja

Yep, and they return from the vet with a big bill.

Still, with a duck or a goose in the cockpit, you can always get down.

Tim Ward

Good point Tim. Lot's of "down" floating around. That's why it's
important to check your air conditioning ducts before you take off.

Q: How do you know you've blown a duct?

A: You look in the mirror and see feathers around your mouth....

Cheese and quackers, this thread brings out the loons.

In any event, your accusations and attacks on me far out weigh any offense you
perceived.

Since you insist on blaming me for your misunderstanding I hereby dismiss you
and send you to Tarverland since you have so much in common with him.
