During a commercial airline flight an Air Force Pilot was
seated next to a young mother with a babe in arms. When the
baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother
began nursing the infant as discreetly as possible.
The pilot pretended not to notice and, upon disembarking,
he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various
baby-related items.
When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot
responded, "Gosh, that's a good looking baby...and he sure
was hungry!"
Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her
pediatrician said that the time spent on the breast would
help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears.
The Air Force Pilot sadly shook his head, and in true pilot
fashion exclaimed, "And all these years, I've been chewing
gum."
