Aviation
When famous sport pilot, author of many
training books for sport
pilots was in this country not long ago, he was spending a week-end
at
a country home. He tells the following story of an incident that was
very
amusing to him.
"The first night that I arrived, a
dinner party was given. Feeling
very
enthusiastic over the recent flights, I began to tell the young blonde
woman
who
was my partner at the table of some of the details of the aviation
sport.
"It was not until the dessert was
brought on that I realized that I
had been doing all the talking; indeed, the young woman just seated
there and
had not uttered a single word since I first began talking about
aviation.
Perhaps she was not interested in the subject, I thought, although to
an
enthusiast like me it seemed quite incredible.
"'I am afraid I have been boring you
with this shop talk," I said,
feeling
as if I should apologize.
"'Oh, not at all,' she murmured, in very
polite tones; 'but would
you
mind telling me, what is aviation?'" |
