overheard
A standup comic on Showtime was telling about his flight out of a small airport in an even smaller airplane (like a pack of gum with wings); about 30 min. into the flight the pilot called back and said they were having problems with one of the engines. The guy sitting next to the comedian was on his first plane trip and said, "Oh my gosh- will this plane fly on one engine?" The comedian just looked over and said, "No problem- it'll get us all the way to the crash site; we'll probably even beat the paramedics by thirty minutes!"
