William -- a quit wit is worth more than any stock. Thanks for the smile. I am stuck in Narita airport -- the plane is 'delayed' for mechanical reasons. This is not very re-assuring facing an all night flight across the pacific on a plane that, at the moment, cannot fly. We take it all for granted these days. I remember my first trans-pacific flight. I was given a whistle and told, in the event we ditch into the pacific, to blow on the whistle while in the water to attract attention. I could not stop laughing for the whole flight as I imagined us ditched in the middle of this vast ocean, blowing our whistles like somebody might hear us and come to our rescue.
