If you are a Frequent Flyer or an In-frequent Flyer, this humorous book about flying is for you The author spent many hours in the air as a Frequent Flyer and while in the air, he wrote down his experiences which enabled him to write this book. Here comes the Jet - hear the roar, Goodbye Honey - I'm out the door, See you in a week - maybe more. It really depends on my direction, and if I can make my connection. Dallas - Seattle - Portland - LA, that's not bad in a single day. I've logged more miles than an Astronaut, And here's some things that I've been taught. I can fasten my seat belt in a flash, Buy cocktails with expense account cash. Eat a meal from a plastic tray, or hear the pilot come on and say..... ....."We're expecting some turbulance....a little rough air...so we advise you to keep your seat belt fastened and not leave your chair. Be calm...there's really no cause for alarm...by the way, we're running a little behind today. We'll only be an hour or so late but you shouldn't have any trouble making your gate. When we get the airport in sight, we'll advise you more about your connecting flight " I guess by now you think I'm a liar but all I am is a FREQUENT FLYER Written by the Author at 30,000 feet The book contains humorous chapters on: You know you're a frequent flyer when....; Frequent Flyer Dictionary; Quotes about flying; Airway Rules; Airline Obituaries; Flight Attendant Humor; and Flying Jokes. Here are a few samples from the chapters in this book: You know you're a frequent flyer when.....You've named your two children Douglas and Boeing.....Your ups and downs in life come from flying through air pockets and thunderstorms....You named your dog 'Delta' and your cat 'United'....You've only put 5,000 miles on your car in 5 years....You rarely see the bottom of clouds. Here are a few samples from the Frequent Flyer Dictionary chapter: -Aisle: Cattle Chute that you are shoved and pushed down when entering or exiting the aircraft; -Overhead Bin: A plastic container that passengers mistake for baggage check-in; -Food Tray: Something that can cause severe shortness of breath when the seat in front of you is suddenly folded down. And from the chapter on "Airway Rules". Here are a few samples: -Takeoff's are optional. Landings are mandatory. -Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man. Landing is the first. -The probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival. And a few samples from the "Flying Jokes" chapter to keep you laughing: -Why does the Pope kiss the ground each time he lands? Did you ever fly with Alitalia? -A blonde is on a four-engine plane crossing the Atlantic. All of a sudden there's a loud bang. The pilot announces over the intercom, "One of the engines has shut off and we'll be delayed 45 minutes." Suddenly there's another bang and loss of second engine. Once again, the intercom clicks on and the pilot expresses his regret that they'll be delayed two hours. Shortly thereafter, there is a third bang and loss of the third engine and the pilot announces that they'll be delayed 3 hours. The blonde then turns to the guy sitting beside her and says, "Man, if the fourth engine shuts off, we'll be up here all day " This book is a must read for everyone who flies and who wants to experience the therapeutic effects of laughing. This book will keep you laughing long after you've finished reading it.

Other humorous sections in this book include: You're a Trucker When;Things Truckers Dream About; You're Getting Older When; a unique "ON TIME" Delivery Calendar; 12-steps to change Oil & Filter on a truck; and much, much, more On the more serious side, there is a section on "Pearls of Wisdom For The Road". Here are a few examples from the book: Randy Roofsheet, a retired trucker, went to his doctor and said: "Doc, I think I'm getting senile. Several times lately, I have forgotten to zip up." "That's not senility," replied the doctor. "Senility is when you forget to zip down." Karl Kingpin, an old trucker, shuffled into a truckstop and slowly and painfully pulled himself up on the counter and ordered a banana split. After catching his breath, the waitress then said kindly, "Crushed nuts?" "No, replied the old trucker, I've got Arthritis " Carl Cabover, a retired trucker, attended a reunion with some of his old trucking friends at a truckstop but found that his surviving friends only wanted to talk about their various ailments - heart conditions, liver problems, kidney stones, and other conditions. When Carl got back home, his wife asked him how the reunion went. "It wasn't so much a reunion," he said, "It was more like an organ recital " Contributor To This Book Special thanks to Frank S. (Shift Fast) Fifthwheel who contributed his vast knowledge and many years of experience in trucking to help make this book possible. Frank S. (Shift Fast) Fifthwheel was born in a sleeper cab somewhere between Memphis, Tennessee and Los Angeles, California. The exact date and time of his birth and the mile marker location are unknown. Mr. Fifthwheel has very deep roots in trucking. His mother was the former Karen Kingpin, an owner operator for 12 years before she met Frank's father, Frank C. (Cabover) Fifthwheel, Sr. After their marrriage in a double rig ceremony, Mrs. Fifthwheel sold her 18-wheeler and began running double with her husband. Trucks and trailers played a major role in young Fifthwheel's life, especially in his right arm. He cranked his first landing gear up and down at age 4 and by age 10 had beaten his father in a 13-speed gear shifting contest at a truck stop in Nebraska where he was given the middle name of "Shift Fast". At age 18 Frank answered the call of the open road in his own 18-wheeler and logged over three million accident-free miles before an injury to his shifting arm forced his early retirement from trucking and launched his career in writing. Today he and his wife, the former Connie Crossmember, and their two dogs, Buckplate and Siderail, live in a converted dry freight van behind an abandoned truck stop in West Memphis, Arkansas. Also special thanks to Roof Bow and Side Sheet, my two 4-legged companions who spent many hours under my feet deciding which pages of the manuscript would be eaten outright and which pages would be eaten after I had edited them.

South Carolina Seafood Magic

SOUTH CAROLINA SEAFOOD IS MAGICAL One of the great pleasures of living in South Carolina is the food and one of the most popular foods are shrimp, crabs, oysters and fish. Seafood is magical because it's low in calories and is packed with protein, vitamins and minerals. In addition, it's rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which are known to lower bad cholesterol that contribute to heart disease. Omega-3s may also increase good cholesterol which help transport cholesterol through the bloodstream. Beyond the nutritional and health benefits, seafood also offers an alternative to consuming factory-farmed animals like cows, pigs, and chickens which live their short lives in horrible conditions. However, seafood caught in South Carolina waters have lived a factory-free life. So enjoy the South Carolina Seafood Magic in this book.

Communication and the Human Condition
W.Barnett Pearce
Southern Illinois University Press
1989
nidottu
Starting with the premise that we live in communication (rather than standing outside communication and using it for secondary purposes), Pearce claims that people who live in various cultures and historical epochs not only communicate differently but experience different ways of being human because they communicate differently.This century, he notes, ushered in the communication revolution, the discovery that communication is far more important and central to the human condition than ever before realized. Essential to the communication revolution is the recognition that multiple forms of discourse exist in contemporary human society. Further, these forms of discourse are not benign; they comprise alternative ways of being human.Thus communication theory must encompass all that it means to live a life, the shape of social institutions and cultural traditions, the pragmatics of social action, and the poetics of social order.
