Francis Meyrick Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 So, what do your helicopter wives all say at the breakfast table? Mine floors me, with the gentle word. All the time. The woman is wicked. So I'm enjoying reading a book of buddhist poetry, called "The Clouds should know me by now" (Red Pine). Innocently, I remarked to wifey: "What a beautiful title for a book". Instant reply (Scottish accent) " You should ken, 'cos your head is in them often enough". Say, What!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fliesbecauseracecar Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 MIne? Well this morning I made the mistake of telling her on the way out the door at 6:45, that I was looking forward to a slow weekend of relaxing and a hoppy beverage or two in the evening. My beautiful wife "You should have plenty of time, and won't that cold beer taste good after mulching the beds and putting in the plants I am picking up this afternoon."

Little Red 22 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Heligirl03, I think the OP means female mates that don't currently possess a pilot or student pilot certificate. The question for my hubby is always the same, "Have you preflighted yet?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pohi Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I've been cheating on you for the last year while you have been on hitch. It's time for you to find your own place and I'm taking your dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmfish Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Will you stop at the market on your way home from work and get some eggs? Oh, im going out for drinks tonight so you're on your own for dinner. And the dryer is making a funny noise and the ABS light on the Volvo stays on all the time. And...

Wally Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I've been cheating on you for the last year while you have been on hitch. It's time for you to find your own place and I'm taking your dog. AT least that was face-to-face.First wife out and the kids at school when the marshal served the papers.This is a tough life for those who don't get to go flying every day, I fault my ex- for the manner, not the fact. She did me a favor, I'm not smart enough to fold a losing hand. Now, I have an understanding- I can fly helicopters as long as I want but I can't ride motorcycles. Someday I won't do either one and that will be all right by me, someday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azhigher Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Good morning, fly safe, I love you. Stuff like that. Flying puts food on the table, pays all the bills, paid for her Master's degree, and generally keeps me happy as I don't have to get a bogus 9-5 office job sooooo, it's all good.

Francis Meyrick Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) What is a helicopter wife? Ah! DEFINITION: "A long-suffering, patient female, who merely sighs, shakes head sadly, and comforts the cat, after Normal Event" Define "Normal Event". DEFINITION: Day 1 OFF after 7 ON, and 50 plus flight hours.Breakfast time. Peace on earth. Bleary eyed husband. Not with it. At all. Brain cells stuttering. (previously tried to microwave coffee cup by opening refrigerator; subsequently tried to put milk carton away in microwave) (seriously) Helicopter sound is heard in distance, approaching steadily.Helicopter husband behaves as follows: says: "Oh, cool!"spills coffeeknocks over chairsteps on catgoes flying out back door to see Sound familiar?
