During a commercial airline flight an Air Force pilot was seated
next
to a young good looking 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
impedimenta.
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
nursing would help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears.
The pilot sadly shook his head, and in true pilot fashion
exclaimed,
'And all these years, I've been chewing gum.'
