Wink Old Pilot

The scene is an era when cockpits had round dials and pilots needed flight engineers and navigators.
A crusty old captain is breaking in a brand new navigator.
The captain opens his briefcase, pulls out a .38 and rests it on the glare panel. He asks the navigator, "Know what this is for?"
"No, sir," replies the newbie.
"I use it on navigators who get us lost," explains the captain, winking at his first officer.
The navigator then opens his briefcase, pulls out a .45 and sets it on his chart table.
"What's THAT for?" queries the surprised captain.
"Well, sir," replies the navigator, "I'll know we're lost before you will."

There's old pilots, and there's bold pilots. But there are darn few old, bold pilots.

As to naviguessers....
