"Okay! All ready to go! Fire it up, Fritz!"
"Where's the keys, Jean-Pierre?"
"Ummm... Olaf? Where are the keys?"
"Trevor had them last. Now he's out back, looking down into that grate. Whøøpsie!"
"I could strike a match."
"Nøøøø!"
"Forget the keys, I'll hotwire it. I just need a paper clip, a ten Euro coin, duct tape, panty hose and a turkey baster."

Russians take stake in EADS

Hey, ladies and gentlemen, I'm looking for some info which I should have saved on my 'puter.

Someone here mentioned there's a site where aero afficionados (sp) go to discuss planes, and we 'merkins were having quite a jolly time trashing the Euros and Airbus. I'm looking for the link for my neighbor's son. He wants to design planes.

Thank you.
