I like to get absolutely hammered on margaritas at the airport Chili’s and then slam my money on the bar and sloppily put on my thrifted pilot’s jacket and shout “welp, that plane ain’t gonna fly itself!”

an old GF liked to tell a story of getting utterly hammered with these 2 pilots at a Disney hotel bar. One kept calling the other "Captain Chance", it only got funnier when it turned out that was his real name: Captain Bruce Chance. & yes he was an actual pilot.

Who turned out to be flying the plane they hauled themselves out of bed to get on the next morning.😬
