Chuck was sitting in an airplane when another guy took a seat beside 
him.
The new guy was an absolute wreck... pale, hands shaking, biting his 
nails
and moaning softly in fear.

"Hey, pal, what's the matter?" Check asked.

"Oh, man... I've been transferred to Detroit," the other guy answered.
"There's crazy people in Michigan... and they have shootings, gangs, 
race
riots, drugs, the highest crime rate..."

"Hold on," Chuck interrupted, "I've lived in Michigan all my life and 
it's
not as bad as the media says.  Find a nice home, go to work, mind your 
own
business, enroll your kids in a good school and it's as safe as 
anywhere in
the world."

The other passenger relaxed and stopped shaking for a moment and said, 
"Oh,
thank you.  I've been worried to death, but if you live there and say 
it's
okay, I'll take your word for it.  What do you do for a living."

"Me? said Chuck.  "Oh, nothing special; I'm a tail gunner on a bread 
truck
in Dearborn..."
