This happened on a flight ready to depart for    Detroit .

Jack was sitting when a guy took the seat beside him. The guy was an
Emotional wreck, pale, hands shaking, moaning in fear. "What's the matter?"
Jack asked.

 

"I've been transferred to Detroit , there's crazy people there. They have a
Lot of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, poor public schools, and the
Highest crime rate."

Jack replied, "I've lived in Detroit all my life. It's not as bad as the
Media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business and enroll
Your kids in a nice p rivate school. It's as safe a place as anywhere in the
World."

The guy finally relaxed and said, "Thank you. I've been worried to death,
But if you live there and say it's OK, I'll take your word for it. By the
Way, what do you do for a living?"

"Me?" said Jack. "I'm a tail gunner on a Budweiser truck."
