[StBernard] crying baby

[Westley Annis]

'All these years' 

During a commercial airline flight a Navy 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 debarking, 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 Navy Pilot sadly shook his head, and in true pilot fashion 
exclaimed, 'Damn! And all these years I've been chewing gum.'
