    Are you sure the plane’s evasive maneuvers were not just pilot surprise at having a Senatorial foot slip under the cabin door and give him a ‘nudge, nudge’?

    LoL!

    Dis – you are a thread killer. Who can compete with that?

    Senator to pilot: “Surely, you can’t be serious!”

    Pilot (pretend it was Peter Graves’ line, not Leslie Neilson): “Yes, and please stop calling me Shirley…and I’ll have the fish.”

    …although, if you could find a vid of Peter Graves going into convulsions from the fish dinner, then the resulting chaos, that would probably support your post better. Yet, gladiator movies…classic.

    Hilarity ensues.

    No. But have you ever had a US Senator rub up and down your leg?
