Job Obsessed!
The photographer for a national magazine
was assigned to get photos of a great forest fire. Smoke at the
scene was too thick to get any good shots, so he frantically called
his home office to hire a plane.
"It will be waiting for you at the airport!" he was assured
by his editor.
As soon as he got to the small, rural airport, sure enough, a plane
was warming up near the runway.
He jumped in with his equipment and yelled, "Let's go! Let's
go!"
The pilot swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the
air.
"Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer,
"and make three or four low level passes."
"Why?" asked the pilot.
"Because I'm going to take pictures! I'm a photographer, and
photographers take pictures!" said the photographer with great
exasperation and impatience.
After a long pause the pilot said, "You mean you're not the
instructor?"
