We call them Batteries!
A few days ago i was flying out at a new field i found, and a lady and her kid walked up to me, which for most rc pilots is a normal occurance. Anyhow, the lady started asking the regular set of questions, such as price, speed, easy/hard, etc, and then she asked me if it was running on gas... When i told her it was electric, she stared at me for about 3 minutes, with a funny look on her face. Finallly she said and i quote- "if it's electric wheres the cord?". I almost crashed my plane i was laughing so hard, but i managed set it down about 10 feet from me, and taxi over to where we were standing. Having made no reply but laughter, i assume she was starting to get aggrivated, form her "humphs" and sighs. I pulled my battery out, and showed it to her, and she(of course) asked what it was; I answered "We call them Batteries!" and the look on her face went straight to Embarassment. The scarry part to me was that she wasnt blonde.

The really scary part is ... They have allowed her to reproduce.

Wow.....wow. How do people get that stupid? I mean, at some point in life, doesn't somebody just tell them? Do they just go through life in apathy and ingnorance of their condition? I understand that she probably knows little or nothing about R/C, but a CORD?!?! I think I need to go change my underwear....the front is a little on the yellow side, and they aren't Spongebob boxers. I can't quit laughing! You have to wonder if that woman ever walks out of the house with her pants over her head and wearing her shirt as pants.

It's a good thing the hurricane prepardeness guides specify having BATTERY operated as opposed to electrically operated flashlights, radios and TVs' on hand or there would be some serious head scratchin' going on!

RE: We call them Batteries!
dude, she's got a kid!
besides, i think that she was either in embarassment or in wonder, like 'oooh ... batt..err..iee....'
hm what would she have said if you told her that its running of a battery straight away
