How to Let Piano Teacher Go

[quote=TeCKis300]This one’s easy.

They just get up and do a round of cropdusting on the passengers. Maybe even on the stewardesses. It’s a favorite past time of the flight crew.[/quote]

Makes sense to me.

Although I thought we now called them flight attendants.

Who knows, maybe in the age of Trump we’ll have stewardesses again?

My first post did address the OP, but these great responses to it are so much more fun, so I guess I’ll have to admit, since we’ve done so well in real estate and with other investments, we haven’t had to worry about jobs for years, so I’ve only been flying about once a month for a very long time. Probably the reason I’m out of the loop when it comes to important issues like this.

Even at one day per month you would still need to know the protocols, which I imagine have been well-established since the early days of aviation.

I’m sure farting has been around since before the Wright brothers, but it’s good to know that aviation technology is always improving. I’d be concerned if my plane’s captain wasn’t up on the latest flight safety research:

Tell you co-pilot that there’s no need to thank me.

You’re amazing–thanks! I fly the 767/777, and have heard a rumor (can’t yet substantiate) that due to a heightened level of public concern, fart-o-meters will be added to the cockpit as soon as humanly possible.
It is because of discussions like these, that we may actually see this breakthrough in our lifetime!

No need for machines, the human nose is a very effective fart-o-meter.

Sitting right next to someone for 10+ hours on hundreds of flights, there’s going to be farts.

I would think anyone with extensive experience would have an an anecdote or two to offer.

Good families don’t fart.

Get this for your kids, along with the piano lessons.

I have many airline/travel anecdotes, many real estate anecdotes, many film anecdotes, many investment anecdotes, many family anecdotes, many college anecdotes etc., etc., that I discuss with friends and family all the time, as I’m sure everyone does wrt their interests, but that’s not what this thread is about, and, since my original response was on topic to the OP, per this topic, I’d find it much more interesting to read the opinions of others wrt our children and their musical development, Strad, Steinway or other, vs. sharing anecdotes about farting in an airliner.

In fact, I can’t even believe this thread has devolved to this level. Hopefully, it will get back on topic soon.

Strad, Steinway…love it!

No Casios here!

Nobody wants to hear about someone else’s kid playing a musical instrument. Goddamn, that’s the archetype of boring.

Since you have asked about our involvement in the film business before, I can give you one last ot comment about how we’ve been able to invest in films like Avatar, etc., which may be a little more exciting than the previous discussion.

My wife (who is from a Hollywood insider family) went to college with and was engaged to a very influential person involved in making several mega-movies. Since they parted on equitable terms, we’ve kept in touch, and have been offered investment opportunities with multiple players in the film business on an ongoing basis, and, so far, so good.

That’s nice.. Hollywood is pretty much recession proof.
