Karen, Your joke about the pilot hearing the engine noise reminded me of a date that I had while in college. The date was planned for a Sunday night, after the girl returned from a visit to her home for the weekend. At the appointed time I went to her dorm to pick her up, but she wasn't back. I waited for about an hour before finally giving up. The next day I saw her in class and I asked what had happened. She explained that she was driving her Corvair(For you young whipper snappers that was a car with the engine in the rear)back to campus when she heard a noise. I asked what she did when she heard the noise and she responded..." I cut the radio on and the noise went away. " I then asked what happened and she said for a few miles she didn't hear anything, but the noise eventually came back and she increased the volume on the radio and by magic the noise went away again. I said that I didn't understand how these events keep her from getting back in time for our date and that I was disappointed. To which she said..."You don't how disappointed that I was when the engine in my car fell out on the highway and the radio went dead on me."
