Baby on a Flight

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 paraphernalia.

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, "And all these years I've been chewing gum."
