Broke 0 #1 May 26, 2006 I find it that there are two particular instance where people clap and iot confuses the fuck out of me. One would be at the end of a movie in a theater, and the other when the pilot lands the plane. Why?Divot your source for all things Hillbilly.

Icon134 0 #2 May 26, 2006 the theater thing I don't have a clue... The pilot thing is because... commercial pilots don't have big enough egos as it is... Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #3 May 26, 2006 its just boiled down to a show of appreciation for not killing them. I don't get it either. I EXPECT him/ her to NOT kill me. I feel if the pilot gets applause so should everyone who has a non eventful day at work the movie thing... i haven't seen that in a while. maybe they think the actors are realy onstageMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRSKY71 0 #9 May 26, 2006 Well, I recently either started to or just began to notice that I make teenie, tiny claps when I am very happy and laughing. I thought the other day "how stupid must I look." The shit is definitely coming to an end, though and ASAP!!!

Cudlo 0 #10 May 26, 2006 Last time I clapped after the plane landed.. it was because I honestly thought the pilot was going to kill us... and I wasn't applauding him/her... it was for the fates not having a bad hair day._________________________________________ "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." - Kierkegaard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #14 May 26, 2006 OK, there was a GREAT band playing someold time honytonk. And with all the soft-rock crap masquerading as "country music" you can bet that the applause was warranted.

And back then, most of the work was backbreaking, dirty labor. So after the work was all done, everyone would clap their hands togther to help disperse the dust, and loosen the muck. Then they could shake hands and thank eachother for a job well done. Which of course evolved into our modern tradition of clapping in appreciation for something done well.\ Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
