You rang, sir?

just thought you might be interested in the air traffic controller map posted above.

My post was written in the style of the PA announcer calling Captain Oveur in the movie Airplane! I guess you had to be there....

Thanks for that. All is now clear!

It's a long time since I last saw Airplane and have forgotten most of it.
I do recall one scene where someone says that 'the sh!t is going to hit the fan'.
A large quantity of ordure then hurtles across the room and 'interfaces with the air conditioning'.

Off now to Amazon to search out the DVD. :D

:lol:

Male announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.
Female announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.
Male announcer: [later] The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the white zone.
Female announcer: No, the white zone is for loading of passengers and there is no stopping in a RED zone.
Male announcer: The red zone has always been for loading and unloading of passengers. There's never stopping in a white zone.
Female announcer: Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for stopping!
Male announcer: Listen Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again.
[Later]
Male announcer: There's just no stopping in a white zone.
Female announcer: Oh really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.
Male announcer: It's really the only sensible thing to do, if its done safely. Therapeutically there's no danger involved.

Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.
Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified

First Somebody: We've got to get this man woman person to a hospital!

Somebody Else: A hospital? What is it?

First Somebody: It's a big building with lots of windows, but, that's not important now...

I have a hard time imagining a more quotable movie. Just genius.

Adaptability...

We had either the admiral, maestro, or G.E. when I was a kid.

Our hi-fi had the multi-stackable spindle for 33s. I actually had a double album set (either Wings Over America or Tommy, I forget) that was set up 1/4, 2/3 so you could stack them and then flip the whole stack to play the other sides in order. My Beatles double albums were 1/2, 3/4.

I've had a few of those.

Teeth.

Down home wisdom.
