Oh, okay, don't assault anybody with a deli weapon. Anyways, there was a famous episode that was on the Twilight Zone, Nightmare at 20,000 feet. The passenger who looked out over the wing that saw the alien tearing the plane apart was William Shatner, the actor who played the passenger. And in the movie was Dan Aykroyd when they did the prologue to that episode in the Twilight Zone movie. And I remember they had got together and they did a little skit and it was really funny. William Shatner went to ask Dan Aykroyd, how was your flight here so that we could be here? And Dan Aykroyd answered, you know, there was this guy on the wing of the airplane and he scared the hell out of me because he was tearing the plane apart. And William Shatner turned to Dan Aykroyd and he goes, the same thing happened to me. I've been fortunate flying that I've never had anything really bad happen. But I know my second wife, she got on a flight and they got in the air and the pilot announced that they had to turn around because they didn't have enough fuel to make it to their destination. You know, I don't know what to make of that. So they turned around, landed and refueled the airplane as far as she knew. And then they took off and made it to their destination. That isn't, you know, that terrible of a thing. You know, but I thought pilots were supposed to go, you know, down their checklist, you know, got enough fuel, check, you know, what else did maybe they forget to look at on that checklist before they took off. Because it seems to me fuel is pretty important that, you know, you're going to have enough. All right. AA-4-H, I'll run Nirmal Florida back to Russell in the control.
