Pilots

As the airliner pushed back from the gate, the flight attendant gave the

passengers the usual information regarding seat belts, etc.

Finally, she said, "Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain,

Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to your destination."

Joe sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, "Did I hear her right?

Is

the captain a woman?

When the attendants came by with the drink cart, he said, "Did I

understand

you right? Is the captain a woman?"

"Yes," said the attendant, "In fact, this entire crew is female."

"My God," said Joe, "I'd better have two scotch and sodas. I don't know

what

to think of all those women up there in the cockpit."

"That's another thing sir," said the attendant, "We no longer call it

the

cock pit. Now it's the box office."
