Bill Clinton: Why are they so thick? Why are they so thick? So the bullets don't break through. That's right. Good for you. Yes…

Why are they so thick? Why are they so thick? So the bullets don't break through. That's right. Good for you. Yes, ma'am, what's your question? How does it feel when you're flying? Have you ever been in an airplane? Well, the truth is, most of the time it feels like it does on the ground. It's calm and nice and fun. But when you take off, it's real exciting because you're going up like that. And then sometime when you fly through a storm and it jumps up and down, it's kind of scary. But most of the time it's just normal.
