ARE YOU A REAL PILOT? from Joe Burton An old Marine Pilot sat down at the Starbucks, still wearing his old USMC flight suit and leather jacket and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot and asked, 'Are you a real pilot?' He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life flying planes, first Stearmans, then the early Grummans... flew a Wildcat and Corsair in WWII, and later in the Korean conflict, Banshees and Cougars. She said, 'I'm a lesbian. The two sat sipping in silence. A little while later, a young man sat down on the other side of the old pilot and asked: "are you a real pilot?"

You were the only one to ask me why I smile. You didn't say it in an intrusive way, just a slightly curious one, despite the fact I hardly knew you at the time, just sharing a class once a week. I had never really seen you smile before, and to be honest I never really wanted to; you always wore a smirk, and it just seemed to fit your face better, just looked a bit more natural. But, regardless, you asked me, looking at me as if I held this secret to the universe, as if I was going to unlock something within you with some unworldly advice.
