Life Isn't Fair.
Mother Nature Is A Cold Heartless Bitch.

(Also, a gentle note to all would-be memesters out there: I fixed this one, and I don't think that was the fault of my source on this, but if you can't spell, don't meme. You're just walking around in public on the internet with your @$$ cheeks flapping in the breeze.)
I'm a helicopter underwater escape trainer, (HUET). You should see the regularity with which so-called tough guys melt down and turn into weeping piles of puke at having to do this.
ReplyDeleteIt's always the quiet and small guys who make it look easy.
You forgot to mention that you have to do it blindfolded twice. Once out the nearest exit and then everyone out the main cargo loading door. That's after you've already done it twice without being blindfolded. At least that's how it used to be done. This coming from a guy who was in lucky #7 seat, far right back corner and supposed to be the last person out on the final 'ride'.
