khichuri - the collection
Daily we get lots of forwarded emails, many of which are so good that we want to keep them. I preserve them in my mailbox thanks to the storage space we are getting these days. But going back to them becomes a cumbersome thing. So I finally decided to blog such emails.

Aircraft maintenance log
After every flight, XYZ pilots fill out a form called a problem sheet, which conveys to the mechanics, problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The engineers read and correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the sheets before the next flight.
Of course, the ground crew and engineers have a sense of humor too.
So, here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems as submitted by XYZ pilots and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.
(By the way, XYZ is the only major airline that has never had an accident.)

Famous Rejection Lines from Women
…and what they really mean.
10. I think of you as a brother. (You remind me of that inbred banjo-playing kid in ‘Deliverance.’)
9. There’s a slight difference in our ages. (I don’t want to do my dad.)
8. I’m not attracted to you in ‘that’ way. (You are the ugliest dork I’ve ever laid eyes on.)
7. My life is too complicated right now. (I don’t want you spending the whole night or else you may hear phone calls from all the other guys I’m seeing.)
6. I’ve got a boyfriend. (I prefer my male cat and a half gallon of Ben and Jerry’s.)
5. I don’t date men where I work. (I wouldn’t date you if you were in the same ’solar system’, much less the same building.)
4. It’s not you, it’s me. (It’s you.)
3. I’m concentrating on my career. (Even something as boring and unfulfilling as my job is better than dating you.)
2. I’m celibate. (I’ve sworn off only the men like you.)
1. Let’s be friends. (I want you to stay around so I can tell you in excruciating detail about all the other men I meet and have sex with. It’s the male perspective thing.)
