If Chris can take that seriously I guess others can too. Sheesh. If I had said 37 or 47 would it have worked better? For the double digit crowd out there please know using exagerration is a common and sometimes amusing way to make a point but when you have to explain it it's not funny anymore. Bad judgment on my part and probably bad humor as well . . . I can read it and smile though so clearly I'm warped. For the record I have no idea how many forced landings Mark has had. No more or less than anybody else who flies Experimental airplanes. Since he advertises his misfortunes so that we may learn from his experiences, clowns like me can come along and exagerrate things for amusement. Sorry!! ****************** I learned in reading an article on the subject years ago that one of the earliest signs in detecting Alzheimer's is the inability to understand irony. Also lost by early Alzheimer's candidates is the capacity to not take seriously things which are obviously and outrageously untrue, simply because they are said in a serious manner. People in the early and later stages of Alzheimers would be able to watch an episode of Laugh In and not have the slightest idea why the audience thinks what Goldie Hawn or Rowan and Martin are saying is funny. Chris is going to hate me now. Probably others too. I'll put myself on restriction if you want. Probably a good idea. I've been bad.
