An Airbus 380 is on its way to cross the Atlantic. It is flying stably at 800 km/h and 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Rafale approaches it at Mach 2 (therefore, 3 times faster).

The fighter jet pilot slowed down, flew alongside the Airbus, and radioed the airliner pilot:

“Bus flight, boring flight, isn’t it? Fasten your seatbelt and take a look over here!”

He performs a barrel roll, accelerates, breaks the sound barrier, climbs steeply to a dizzying height, then dives to sea level in a breathtaking spin. He returns to the Airbus and asks:

– “Well, how was it?!?”

The Airbus pilot replies:

“Very impressive, but now look over here!”

The jet pilot looks at the Airbus, but nothing happens. He continues to fly stubbornly in a straight line, at a constant speed. After five minutes, the Airbus pilot makes a radio call:

– “Well, what do you think?”

The jet pilot asks, confused:

– “What have you done?

The other pilot laughed and said:

“I got up, stretched my legs, went to the back of the aircraft to use the restroom, had a cup of coffee and a cinnamon cake.”

Here’s the moral of the story:

When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seem like the best things in life. But as you get older and wiser, comfort and peace become just as important.

An Old Golfer was hitting his ball from near a water hazard and his club fell into the water.

 When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, “Why are you crying ?”

The golfer replied that his club had fallen into the water and he needed the club to have a chance to win the tournament and supplement his meager pension.

 The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden club.

 “Is this your club ?” the Lord asked.

 The golfer replied, “No.”

 The Lord again went down and came up with a silver club.

 “Is this your club ?” the Lord asked.

 Again, the golfer replied, “No.”

 The Lord went down again and came up with an old iron club.

“Is this your club ?”the Lord asked.

 The golfer replied, “Yes, that’s it !”

 The Lord was pleased with the golfer’s honesty and gave him all three clubs to keep, and the golfer won his tournament and went home happy.

 Sometime later, the golfer was walking with his wife along the water hazard, and she fell into the lake.

 When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, “Why are you crying ?”

 “Oh, Lord, my woman has fallen into the water !”

 The Lord went into the water and reappeared with Kate Upton.  “Is this your woman ?” the Lord asked.

 “Yes,” cried the golfer.

 The Lord was furious. “You lied ! That is an untruth !”

 The golfer replied, “Oh, forgive me Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said ‘No’ to Kate Upton, you would have come up with Jennifer Anniston. Then if I said ‘No’ to her, you would have come up with my woman. Had I then said ‘Yes,’ you would have given me all three. And Lord, I am an old man not able to take care of all three women in a way that they deserve… so that’s why I said ‘Yes’ to Kate Upton.

And God was pleased.

The moral of this story is:

If a golfer ever tells a lie, it is for a good and honorable reason and only out of consideration for others.
