Daily joke and the culture behind   Wednesday, January 17, 2018     There's Nothing to Worry About   While cruising at 40,000 feet, the airplane shuddered and Mr. Smith looked out the window. "Good lord!" he screamed, "One of the engines just caught fire!" Other passengers left their seats and came running over; suddenly the aircraft was rocked by a second blast as yet another engine caught fire on the other side. The passengers were in a panic now, and even the stewardesses couldn't maintain order.   Just then, standing tall and smiling confidently, the pilot strode from the cockpit and assured everyone that there was nothing to worry about. His words and his demeanor made most of the passengers feel better, and they sat down as the pilot calmly walked to the door of the aircraft. There, he grabbed several packages from under the seats and began handing them to the flight attendants. Each crew member attached one of the packages to their backs.   "Say," an alert passenger spoke up, "Aren't those parachutes?" The pilot said they were. The passenger went on, "But I thought you said there was nothing to worry about?” "There isn't," replied the pilot as a third engine exploded. "We're going to get help."   Today’s topic: 180117   How do you like the pilot?   1.      How do you like the pilot?   2.      What do you think the author wants to tell us?
