We very highly value a dry sense of humor here.
"Another example is in the 1993 film Falling Down, in which the main character William Foster (played by Michael Douglas) is insulted by a man who has been waiting to use the phone booth previously occupied by Foster. He voices his irritation at Foster's prolonged use of the booth by saying "People have been waiting to use the phone." Foster responds to this by saying "Well, you know what?", and using a submachine gun to destroy the phone, added "I think it's out of order."

I got to ride with my Dad in an old Piper on Saturday nights. My Dad's friend
was REAL old, and he would fly up to Wichita to get a few bundles of the
Wichita Eagle newspaper. He liked company, and often invited Dad and I along.
(I sat on my Dad's lap!)
Not much to look at in northern Oklahoma,or southern Kansas at night, but the sounds, smells and feelings of being aloft never left me.

Honestly can't remember a time that I didn't want to fly. My parents say that, from the time I could walk, I was looking up at airplanes. Since I could remember I wanted to fly the Viper, and have been blessed to make it happen. Now time to move on the my next goal, the MD-11. Going to be a while...just enjoying the ride!
