An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies
consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter
with Tempo Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus
and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring
flight isn’t it?
Now have a look here. He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates,
breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height,
and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He
loops back next to the Airbus and asks, "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but now you look!" The
jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly
stubbornly straight, with the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus
pilot radios, "Well, how was that?
Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?" Airbus pilot laughs
and says, "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the
aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate
fudge pastry.

The moral of the story is: when you are young, speed and adrenaline
seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that
comfort and peace are more important.
This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older, Smarter.
Dedicated to all my friends who are like me, realizing that it is
time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip. Dedicated to all
seniors.
You know, old age comes at such a bad time. It is when you finally
know everything, then you start to forget everything you know.
(also, no one asks..............)
OT here, admittedly, but one of the best things you've posted!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :-D
I've often meant to ask you. The words in your signature.
Would you please explain what this means?
Oh! Wait! I found this!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Created_the_Integers
Have you read the book?

No; I was harking back to a quotation attributed to mathematician Leopold Kronecker.
My initial reply to you appeared under your name, not mine, I wonder why that happened?
Also, there are about five potential sigs, supposed to be selected at random, Am I stuck on this one? Must see if I can find out why!
