Ok, this is a little story that was emailed to me that I think fits this auto vs. manual story fairly well:



A C-130 was lumbering along when a cocky F-16 flashed by.
The jet jockey decided to show off.

The fighter jock told the C-130 pilot, 'watch this!' and promptly went into a barrel roll followed by a steep climb. He then finished with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier. The F-16 pilot then asked the C-130 pilot what he thought of that?

The C-130 pilot said, 'That was impressive, but watch this!'
The C-130 droned along for about 5 minutes and then the C-130 pilot came back on and said: 'What did you think of that?'

Puzzled, the F-16 pilot asked, 'What the heck did you do?' I didn't see anything.

The C-130 pilot chuckled. 'I stood up, stretched my legs, walked to the back, took a leak,then I got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon bun.'



When you are young and foolish, speed and flash may seem a good thing. When you get older and smarter, comfort and dull is not such a bad thing!



Older folks understand this one.
