Flight School
I was taking a ground school class for private pilots. During the session on weather, the instructor wanted to discuss the concept of sublimation, the act of going from a gas to a solid skipping the intermediate liquid stage. He gave as an example water vapor in the air condensing on a plane's windshield to form ice.
Wanting to see if the class had understood the concept, the instructor
asked if anyone could provide an example of something that went straight from a solid to a gas. He was expecting "dry ice" as the answer.
One of the students blurted out, "Burritos."

I am trying to see things from your perspective....But I can't get my head that far up my ass!
Remember - The TOES you step on today maybe attached to the ASS you have to kiss tomorrow.
