Didn't die in a fiery ball of crashed plane. The turbulence wasn't even near as bad as they said it would be.

I can think of a couple of exceptions but mostly, turbulence is harmless.

I guess they're just being hyperconscious of safety to please the passengers. They had us circle for an hour, waiting for weather patterns to dissipate, and made the flight attendants take their seats for "moderate turbulence" and then it was just a few bumps.

I've flown through thunderstorms in a 737 that tossed the plane around pretty good.

Turbulence has to get pretty bad before it causes issues.

i have been on a puddle jumper in sort of bad turbulence. it was kind of like a ride on a wooden roller coaster combined with driving over the worst streets in montreal. teeth jarring bumps and other nice vestibular stimulations. might should have had my seatbelt tighter. we escaped to better weather so it didn't last long.

I hate the circling. I've spent hours above Heathrow, waiting to land, and the circling is always far bumpier than the actual landing.

I have been on a plane to Japan that was flying on the front of a typhoon. Pretty bad turbulence. People were screaming, I thought it was funny.

A man lost two buttons from his shirt and put them in his pants pocket. But the pocket had a hole, so the buttons fell into his shoe. Unfortunately, the shoe sole also had a hole, so he lost the buttons. As pockets with holes, holes without buttons, and shoe soles with holes are useless, the man ripped the buttonholes off of his shirt and the pocket from his pants and tossed them in the trash along with the soles of his shoes.

A police officer who was observing the man asked him for some identification. The man gave the officer a document that showed he was an ordained minister of the gospel. When the officer began to escort him to a mental institution, the minister protested violently, asking why he was receiving such unjust treatment.

“Look, we both know it’s the best place for you now,” the officer replied. “Anyone claiming to be a preacher who doesn’t save souls or wear holy clothes has probably lost his buttons.”

Well I am called Parts for a reason :green:  I fix and modify lots of things so I have a large collection of all types of hardware, fasteners and spare parts of all types that way I can avoid going to the store it saves time and money.  I have multiple parts cabinets and shelving units filled with bins to hold it all.
