When little Missy's boyfriend stops by to take her out to a movie (and rescue her from the rest of the wackos), you can take him aside and ask, "Son, can you help us out a bit? Have you ever given any thought as to how you might hang yourself in an airplane lavatory?"

I admit to having failed in my duty to do that at the PBI Meet but I have a good excuse -- I was too busy watching firephoenix all of the time.
