Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked, in the head, by an iron boot? Of course you don't--no one does--that never happens.
Captain, how soon can you land?
I can't tell.
You can tell me, I'm a doctor.
No, I mean, I'm just not sure.
Well, can't you take a guess?
Well, not for another two hours.
You can't take a guess for another two hours?
No, no, no, I mean we can't land for another two hours.
There's been a little problem in the cockpit, and I was . . .
The cockpit--what is it?
It's the little room in the front of the plane where the pilots sit, but that's not important right now.
Nervous?
Yes.
First time?
No, I've been nervous lots of times.
What was it we had for dinner tonight?
Well, we had a choice: steak or fish.
Yes. Yes, I remember. I had lasagna.
There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.
