Post Almost before notice...
(Sneaking into tavern on the green...)

(Opening display case where public notices are posted.)

(Removing small, hand-lettered sign that reads:

Wanted: Brave Men and Women seeking Fame and Adventure.
Some slight possibility of Fortune.
Come One, Come All...
Now accepting applications for a journey to the Brave, New World.
Fun! Adventure! Excitement! Possible Death and Dismemberment!
See the World! See the World! See The World!



In fine print at bottom of sign:
No actual Fame or Fortune is guaranteed.
In the Event of actual Fame or Fortune, The Company takes full credit for Fame and 50% of all Fortune.




In really, really fine print below the fine print:
Slight possibility of Death and Dismemberment actually exists.
In the Event of actual Death or Dismemberment, The Company(tm) Disavows all knowledge or responsibility of said adventure.

Where? You're already signed up. I think I need to start another thread. If we're gonna go up in a great ball of flame, we may as well have a clear launch space.

Not that we'd be concerned about the landing zone.

There are many rules of aviation, most of which are quite elastic. In our case,
While on the ground, immediate concerns are:
3. Are we packed?
7. Is everyone of importance on-board?
2. Did we include a well-stocked beverage cart?
1. Are the stewardesses pulchritudinous?
4. Are the stewardesses skirts just short enough?
5. Has the aerovehicle been maintained, tuned, fuelled, prepared?
6. Is there a clear launch space?

Nowhere in that list is the concern of actually bringing a craft to earth. Our intent is to stay aloft, if possible.

While aloft and no exigencies presenting,

1. Is the beverage cart still stocked?
5. Do we still have enough fuel?
3. Are the patrons happy, or at least complacent?
2. Are the "necessary rooms" still functional?
4. Are the stewardesses reasonably happy, or at least compliant?
6. Do we know where we are going? and if not, do we really care where we're going?
and sometimes
7. Did you hear that?! Is someone shooting at us? Are they getting closer?

Only at the end (however you define "end") do we concern ourselves with mundane matters such as
1) Is there a place to land?
2) Do you think we'll survive?
4) Stewardess, can I have a fresh drink? And a change of underwear...

I am so very sorry... I think that ShortNCuddlyAm has hijacked it. Let's wait 'til she's asleep during the Atlantic crossing, and we'll switch the good stuff with some brown paint. She'll never notice. Don't tell anyone!

HEY! What're you doing HERE? You're supposed to be in the NEW thread (thread, post, chain, whatever...).

Are you really vegetarian? I wasn't aware when I assigned you chickenage. ;-)
