Not having any success at our regular bars, a friend and I decided to go to the Adam's Mark Hotel near the airport. The bar was a real meat market (it was 1984).
So, we wear coats and ties and Lear pins on our ties and head off. (I think I may have had an instrument ticket at that time and my friend had his CFI and Multi.) So we're off to tell these chicks that we're corporate Learjet pilots.
We get there and the place was hopping as we'd hoped. In about 30 sec., he's headed off with some chick and I'm left holding his drink and talking to her friend. (Now, we'd already been drinking for awhile and I'm pretty hammered.) They dance and dance and the other girl and I end up outside on the sofa talking. (Well, she was talking and I was trying not to pass out.)
I'm figuring it's time to go--I'm more interested in sleeping than getting laid by that point. So we said our good byes and left--at least my friend got a phone number.
A couple of days later, I was forced into a double date--I had no idea what the girl looked like (the alcohol erased my memory of that night) and really wasn't interested anyway. But, my friend REALLY wanted to get laid and the only way to do it was via the double date. I agreed.
My friend got laid. The other girl and I just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary.
She was kind of impressed that I was a pilot when we met. She's not now...
