Airplane! is one of my favorite movies.
Rumack: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we
can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important
right now.
Elaine Dickinson: You got a letter from headquarters this morning.
Ted Striker: What is it?
Elaine Dickinson: It's a big building where generals meet, but that's
not important.
So I'm thankful to Tom for the chuckle, but also thankful to Kevin for a
well-written article. Although it was written specifically for
Broadcast-related industry, it's also very relevant to our little
ecosystem. Good stuff.
