Don't recall if I mentioned it at the time, but one of those old jets
I posted pics of recently has markings near the back of the canopy
which say "brake canopy for emergency exit". It's owned by
Norwegians, so I suppose they have the excuse of not being native
English speakers.

Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience
prove you wrong. Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is*
naked, the truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is
no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
