Better Than Chewing Gum

During a commercial airline flight a Army Pilot was seated next to a young mother with a baby in arms. When her baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing her infant as discreetly as possible. The pilot pretended not to notice, and, upon debarking, he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various baby-related articles.

When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot responded, "Gosh, that's a good looking baby...and he sure was hungry!"

Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said breast-feeding would help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears.

The pilot sadly shook his head, and in true pilot fashion exclaimed........"And all these years I've been chewing gum."
