This happened on a flight getting ready to depart for Detroit.
Jack was sitting on the plane when a guy took the seat beside him.
The guy was an emotional wreck. "What's the matter?" Jack asked.
"I've been transferred to Detroit. There are crazy people there. They have lots of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, poor public schools, and the highest crime rate in the nation."
Jack replied, "I've lived in Detroit all my life. 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 nice private school. It's as safe a place as anywhere in the world."
The guy relaxed and stopped shaking and said, "Oh, thank you. I've been worried to death. But if you live there and say it's OK,  I'll take your word for it. What do you do for a living?"

"I'm a tail gunner on a Budweiser truck."
