I know, I saw it at the beginning. I was telling Charmy I did not see hers but could see yours. i was messing around because your picture was so small and hers was so big. i guess my humor was not taken the right way. Just to clarify, I saw the sailor on both coins
Heath, I understood every comment you made in this thread and there's nothing wrong with your humor. I quite enjoyed it myself.
Who said anything about airplanes? Pelicans can fly on their own, you know! When was the last time you saw a pelican aboard an airplane, other than being sucked into the engine? Chris
Umm... You said it yourself in post #19!!! :rolling: "Pelican Express Airways........"We deliver to all points of the globe. On time! Every time!" PEX was an actually airline/carrier that went out of business in 1998.
The word "airway" doesn't necessarily refer only to the route an airplane would fly. Many birds, even some butterflies, follow specific airways in their migrations north and south. Since the original discussion centered around a sailing ship of the 15th century, and we know that airplanes did not exist for another 400+ years, isn't it logical to assume that the word "airways" referenced the flight path of a bird? Chris
Sorry, but No. Your logic is circular at best. You cited the name of an actual airway company, "Pelican Express Airways"*, as indicated by your use of initial caps and the plural "s" ending, not an "airway" no "s" ending, as you have now inserted into this conversation by way of your foul and obtuse reference to birds, in this most absurd thread. *PEX
