Strong, gorgeous women!

She has been posted here previously, but she deserves a reentry: the one and only Anke Engelke! Epic german comidienne, gorgeous human being, multilingual, beautiful woman in her fourties and best host of the (otherwise shitty) Eurovision Song Contest ever!!! D A N K E   A N K E !!! 

It doesn't hurt that she is my namesake ... 

Good heavens, Anke lives!  Great to see you, friend.

The Flight Crew

While the C-5 was turning over its engines, a female crewman gave the G.I.s on board the usual information regarding seat belts, emergency exits, etc.

Finally, she said, 'Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to Afghanistan '

An old Master Sergeant sitting in the eighth row thought to himself,
'Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman? '

When the attendant came by he said 'Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?' 'Yes!', said the attendant, 'In fact, this entire crew is female.'



'My God!,' he said, 'I wish I had two double scotch and sodas. I don't know what to think with only women up there in the cockpit.'

'That's another thing, Sergeant,' said the crew member, 'We no longer call it The Cockpit' 'Now it's The Box Office.'

Awesome! I always did think the "cockpit" was gross as was the "bullpen" in a corporate office.

Nadine Angerer! Gorgeous goalkeeper of the German National Women Football Team. She saved two penalties against Norway to secure the German girls their sixth (!) European Championship in a row. And she is from my region.

Awesome, I'm happy to know about her.

And thanks for the "Throwback Thursday" post where we are resurrecting old but good threads!
