My DNA is about 1/3 Scottish. On paper it should be about 1/8. Since some of my English ancestors were from West Yorkshire, perhaps there was some intermarriage between English and Scottish.

Besides, I'm short, and I wouldn't even get in a helicopter again, let alone fly one!

Miscegenation.

And my last three helicopter rides involved takeoffs, but no landings. As our class, roughly 1200 feet high, leapt into the void, trusting the parachutes would function. Perfectly.
