That was worth a chuckle.

Touche. My mother (a four-decade long English teacher and
high school principal) would have my hide over that one. Damn!

What do I care? Read-and-parse. English 1. I said to use the FMC
(ok. in a plane that has one, *obviously*) to guide under VFR (hell,
guide it under IFR for all I care, unless you are worried about a
simulated FSDO appearing on your doorstep) for a long flight (.
Imagine the distractor is a stewardess and you want to join the
simulated mile high club (hmmmmm...interesting fantasy in there
somewhere...). (obvious ad hominem) However, in your case you don't
even need to use the FMC or have a long flight; you'd be finished with
any distraction before tower handed you off to departure after
takeoff.

It is never acceptable to divert one's attention from the flying task. There
must always be a human being watching the aircraft, if the aircraft is
designed for human pilots.

I never said anything about distractions while flying. I was implying
that a [significant other/boyfriend/girlfriend/hell-it-could-be-a-goat-
for-all-I-know] is going to get ****ed off at you if you choose a
computer over the distraction; *regardless* of what you are doing on
the computer at the time of the distraction.

The computer will not become ****ed off. Therefore the choice is easy.

Is they really?

Yet you imply that he could be faking it.

Of course; he _could_ be. That doesn't mean that he is.

I was simply implying that men are not always as interested in sex as they
pretend to be. Sometimes men simulate to please women, or to prove to their
peers that they are virile and heterosexual.

Do us a favour. Fly Hooters Air and let's see how you fare.

I am very difficult to impossible to distract with mere pretty faces or
bodies.

You have no idea what's involved in flying a real airplane, let alone the
work load involved in the task.

I have an excellent idea, and your hyperbole does not change this.
Over-the-top exaggerations do not improve credibility.

I haven't done that. I don't drink alcohol, and there is nothing in a strip
joint that I'd want to see.

Have you ever tried flight with a beautiful girl sitting next to you?

Yes. I've done all sorts of things with a beautiful girl next to me.

If not, how can you be sure it wouldn't be a distraction?

I've done it, and it's not a distraction, particularly if you want to come
back alive (although my flights are simulated, so that's less of an issue--but
I still don't feel particularly distracted).

You are thoroughly insane, or else a lifeless dork.

F--

Why is it hyperbole or over the top? By your own admission you have never
flown and are afraid to fly.

You simply have no basis of comparison between playing a computer game and
the actual act of flying. Until you have done both, any pronouncements on
your part are based upon conjecture and supposition only.

This is why you have absolutely no credibility, and your statements lack
credence.

Yes, we know, all aspects of real life terrify you.

Yessum! They is, Mister sir!

Yet you imply that he could be faking it.

Of course; he _could_ be. That doesn't mean that he is.

And it isn't your place to assume or imply that he is or isn't.
That is his personal life with his wife, and is no business of yours to
bring up anywhere.

See above.

You've proven my point regarding social ineptness. How ironic,
seeing that you live in Paris: the city of love.

Even in a simulated strip joint it doesn't count!

Anyone remember "Leisure Suite Larry"?
