A young military jet pilot, flying a single-engine F-16 American fighter, was escorting a B-52 and generally being a nuisance, acting like a hotdog by flying rolls around the lumbering old bomber. The hotdog picked up his microphone and transmitted, “Anything you can do, I can do better.” The veteran bomber pilot answered, “Try this, hot-shot.” The four-engine B-52 continued its flight straight and level. Perplexed, the hotdog asked, “So? What did you do?” The veteran replied, “I just shut down two engines.”
