Practical lesson about flying

During a commercial airline flight an experienced Air Force Pilot was seated nextto a young mother with a baby in her arms. When the baby began crying during thedescent for landing, the mother began nursing the infant as discreetly aspossible. The pilot pretended not to notice. Upon disembarking, he gallantly offered his assistanceto help with the various baby-related items. When the young mother expressed her gratitude,the pilot responded "that's a good looking baby. He sure was hungry!" Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said that the time spenton the breast would help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears.The Air Force Pilot sadly shook his head and in true pilot fashion exclaimed "And all these years I've been chewing gum."
