An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800   
   km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with Tempo Mach 2 appears.   
       
   The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets   
   the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus flight, boring flight isn't   
   it? Take care and have a look here!   
       
   He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier,   
   rises rapidly to a dizzying height, only to swoop down almost to sea level in   
   a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks, "Well, how was   
   that?"   
       
   The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but now have a look here!"   
       
   The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly   
   stubbornly straight, with the same speed. After five minutes, the Airbus pilot   
   radioed, "Well, what are you saying now?"   
       
   The jet pilot asks confused: "What did you do?" The other laughs and says, "I   
   got up, stretched my legs, went to the back of the flight to the bathroom, got   
   a cup of coffee and a cinnamon cake and made an appointment with a stewardess   
   for the next three nights - in a 5 Star hotel, which is paid for by my   
   employer. "
