The veteran pilotBack 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.
