I flew him to Oz a couple of years ago.

He sat on the jumpseat when we landed at Manila for fuel. He thought what I did for a living was dangerous (forgetting that he was a passenger in the same plane). I told him I thought what he did was too. He said he worked with animals, who, for the most part were predictable. As we taxiied to the gate, I responded that I worked with the rules of physics, also fairly predictable.

He said the only variable he really had to deal with were people he worked with around him. Just then, the flight attendant came into the cockpit, and tripped on his shoulder harness that he had removed after landing.

We both smiled as I said 'Same, same'.
