We had military choppers flying low over work this week. I thought they were surveying flood damage, but turns out they were giving rides to military school students. Very uplifting story.
A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position and course to fly to the airport. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign read "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER." The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how the "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER" sign helped determine their position. The pilot responded "I knew that had to be the Microsoft building because they gave me a technically correct, but completely useless answer."

no worries as we aint broken any laws that would warrant copters
TheBuddha ago
Nah, it's probably just a lost tourist.
That's my first guess. I could turn on the scanner, but I don't much care right now. I can't help.

after bein in jail the other day it reminds me i have zero to fear as i tend to thrive in jail type places
TheBuddha ago
I'd not want to adapt myself to thriving in jail.
zyklon_b ago
you have no choice when u there and too poor to pay the ransom and extortion to get out
TheBuddha ago
I know. I'd not want to be there.
And, I am not actually sure what the total cost is, so far. I'm pretty sure I can find out. I should do that.
zyklon_b ago
you would do well in jail due to your brain. most ppl you come across are really dumb n educated. even dumber than me by far
TheBuddha ago
I'm sure I'd find a way to fit in. I just don't want to be that person. I'd do it if I had to. I always do my job.

i would go into shower n cry cause i wanted see daughter n take pills. crying in shower is good cause noone notices
TheBuddha ago
Yeah, it seems like a shitty place to live.
zyklon_b ago
is the lack of control over life choices and my inability not to prey upon weaker ppl is what caused me most issues
TheBuddha ago
I find that all my stupid stuff goes back to having initially made a bad choice.
The missus is stirring. I suspect she wants to leave soon.
zyklon_b ago
not me i blame.society and.poverty on my nad choices
TheBuddha ago
I only blame myself.
zyklon_b ago
thats not good buddy...is always.someone or something else to.blame
TheBuddha ago
It's been pretty effective.
I have frequently looked back and said, "Yup, that was a bad decision."
zyklon_b ago
another good excuse here in bible belt is to claim "the devil made her do it"
TheBuddha ago
I'll keep it in mind, but that seems unlikely to be an excuse I'll really need.
zyklon_b ago
u got money for lawyers so aint no reason for you to say anything is my best advice.
TheBuddha ago
Yup. Talk to my lawyer. Got one on retainer.
zyklon_b ago
have him hire a team.of lawyers and bury prosecution in paper work and hearings till they accept your bribe
TheBuddha ago
Pretty much, but I try to not let it get that far.
zyklon_b ago
you are blessed bro. enjoy the day!!
TheBuddha ago
You too. I think the missus might finally be about ready.
zyklon_b ago

TheBuddha ago
Good luck!
zyklon_b ago
