I wonder how many people reading this thread have went to look in their car to see if it has an arrow.


<----one right here.

I've owned 5 vehicles in my life and not one has had this "arrow" you guys speak of. What's the odds?

Very bad vapors. You don't want to inhale.

Refined Natural gas that the general public would come in contact with is odorless, the pungent aroma is added to it by man.


Also - if you work in a plant that manufactures mercaptans it's best to change your clothes before heading to the grocery store. Otherwise they may evacuate the store, thinking there is a gas leak. So I've heard.

It's amazing the things you look over on a day basis and don't notice.

This isn't a good one, but I have to constantly explain to adults that it's "contrails" (as in Condensation Trails) instead of "chemtrails" (as in Chemical Trails) and that the shite is made up of water vapor.

Agreed.

How often do you look at your fuel gauge? At least once daily? That damn arrow is right there and I never noticed it.

when we used to have young new hire flight attendants I'd pull all kinds of shite on them in the cockpit, one of them was to show them a contrail that we were about to cross, I'd tell them it was a time zone line and we'd feel a slight bump as we crossed it, sometimes I provided the bump

Recently taught a 40yo man about mile markers and exit numbers.


I will admit that I did not know about this until I moved to California. The exits on the Interstate Highways in NH and VT are not identified by mile markers, just #1 to something no higher than 50. It made much more sense once I lived in a place where the mile marker system was used.

yeah it was fun, another was, we had this low intensity lamp mounted on a swivel just above the seat, when it was off it still had a small light inside and you could look into it and see small specks, we'd ask them it they wanted to look through the telescope and see the planets, of course to do so meant they had to sit in our laps, sometimes facing backwards, fun times
