Rain away, I don't offend easily. I've heard a couple of these as well. Was just an e-mail a pilot friend of mine forwarded to me.
I took a bare knuckle flight from Portland, Or. to Reno one time. It was one of the most bumpy rides and hardest landing I've ever had. The entire hour flight was silent. Upon slamming onto to the runway at Reno and while taxing to he gate the pilot broke the silence announcing "Not bad for a first try folks, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it after a few more." A lot of folks laughed, I certainly did. But as I walked up the ramp I overheard two old ladies behind me say 'I can't believe that was his first flight!" They seemed really upset by it. I think they made me laugh harder then the pilot.
