John was told that a twin-engine plane would be waiting at the airport. Arriving at the airport he spotted a plane warming up outside the hanger.
He jumped in, said let’s go. The pilot taxied and took off.
Once in the air, John told the pilot: Fly low over the valley so I can take pictures of the fire on the hill.
Pilot: Why?
John: Because I’m the photographer for a television show. I need to get some close-up shots.
The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, then he stammered So, what You’re telling me is.. “You’re not my flying instructor?”
Life is Short. ALWAYS ASK. NEVER ASSUME.
