Back in 1,970, a veteran air pilot’s position was shaken  when a new type of commercial aircraft came on the market. It was necessary for all pilots, including our veteran, to undergo a complete physical examination in order to make sure he was equipped to handle the new plane.

 

The veteran passed with flying colors and the doctor said,

“I must ask you one more question from the psychiatric standpoint. Tell me, sir, how long has it been since you have had a successful experience with a young lady?”

 

The pilot’s eyes narrowed and he said finally,

“I should say it was about 1955.”

 

The doctor looked startled.

“That long ago. Isn’t unusual?”

 

The pilot looked at his wristwatch.

“That’s not so long ago. It’s only 1105 now.”
