Joke 997

15 Dec

During a commercial airline flight a Navy pilot was seated next to a young mother with a babe in arms.

When the baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing the infant as discreetly as possible.

The pilot pretended not to notice and, upon debarking, he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various baby-related paraphernalia.

When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot responded, “Gosh, that’s a good looking baby…and he sure was hungry!”

Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her paediatrician said nursing would help alleviate the pressure in the baby’s ears.

The Navy pilot sadly shook his head, and in true pilot fashion exclaimed, “Damn! And all these years I’ve been chewing gum.”

The vet examines it then says, “It looks okay to me.”

    Too funny! These were so much fun. I was in an airplane when my eldest daughter was just a couple of months old. She started crying when we took off and a doctor behind us actually came over and told me that it would help if I nursed her. My brother-in-law was beside me and I know it was very uncomfortable for him. However, it did stop my daughter’s pain.

    Great crop today and nursing a crying baby on board a plane is good.

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
