Re: Perfect Christmas gift for your wife/copilot

I have to admit that it took a second look to understand the implications of the headset. :oops:

I was thinking about how my wife would react to getting her own personal headset and weighing the pros and cons of the gift. She likes flying so I thought I might get away with it. But giving her that one might be risking a bit much! :lol:

Not aviation related, but when we got married we didn't have a whole lot. I bought my wife an ironing board for her birthday and she was just tickled. I don't think I could get away with that now.

Nah, things are great, she still gets a mic on her headset.

Just saw that and thought it was funny...for guys with no Pilot Isolate function on their intercom.

This is my favorite little something to give this time of year...

And a couple wads of cotton in the ears if they snivel about the airplane noise.

Re: Perfect Christmas gift for your wife/copilot

Now that's a mixed message if ever there was one! Glad you want to go flying with me, I don't want to hear anything you have to say. And then you guys complain when she doesn't want to go with you. Sit down and shut up??

Well really the micless headset joke applies to anyone, but as an occasional student of Archie Bunker humor I thought it best to present it as such. Only a joke, Anne!

Re: Perfect Christmas gift for your wife/copilot

Just had to get my 2c in. (I did think the mic-less headset was pretty funny, though, considering my Supercub's intercom doesn't have an isolate switch).

Ah, the joys of the man-cave. There's a few hangars at my airport that fit that description. Everything but the "No Girls Allowed" sign (except if we're bringing beer and brats).

ASW. :roll:

Re: Perfect Christmas gift for your wife/copilot

Gump - great video!

I gotta tell you a true story - so help me God!

A few years ago my wife asked for a Miele vacumn cleaner for Christmas. You know, one of those high priced German jobs. I knew it was a set up but she seemed sincere. So against my better judgement I said "yes" provided she wrote me a "permission" note for the salesperson. I figured it would be a women selling me the vacumn.

So I show up at the little appliance store that sells these sort of vacumns about five days before Christmas. All the sales staff are men. Rats! Even worse! I asked this guy to help me out on Miele vacumns. He shows me all the models and colors. Then he asks the dreaded question, "This isn't a Christmas present for your wife is it?"

My right hand went instinctively for my shirt pocket where the "permission" note was. My timid reply was "Yes". He says "You have a permission slip right?" and starts laughing!

I slowly pulled out the note on yellowed lined paper and handed it to him.

I have to say that I have never ever seen a human being make a face like that! I can't even describe it! No lie - to this day that note hangs framed in the office of that appliance store. But that is not the end of the story.

I felt so bad about getting a vacumn for her that I went out and spent an equal amount on jewelry.
Only much later did I tumble to the diabolical plot hatched by my loving wife. She stills laughs about it. :oops:
