Hillary
was on a flight to Los Angeles when the pilot
announced "I'm sorry to inform you that
one of the plane's engines has stopped. This
is no cause for concern because we have three
more engines. However, the flight will take
an hour longer."
Shortly
afterwards, the pilot announces "I'm
terribly sorry, but a second engine on this
plane has stopped functioning. There is no
danger; this plane can fly quite normally on
two engines. However, the flight will now
take two hours longer."
After
about twenty minutes, the pilot comes on and
says "I'm afraid that the third engine
has stopped functioning as well, but we have
one more engine functioning properly. The
flight will be delayed about three hours
more."
Hillary
turns to another passenger and says angrily
"I hope that last engine doesn't stop
functioning! We'll be stuck up here all
day!"
