Claypone, and Edna,

Ah well, I tried. But I can't help laughing it off. The movie isn't Air Force One, but Catch Me If You Can, where a 17 year old kid impresses the impressionable by being a pilot. A good test of whether something that seems significant actually signifies anything may be whether a messed-up teenage kid can fake it. This is a thread that so far has added nothing to anything that anyone needs to give a flying anything about. Where's the significance in all this flying crap?

So--a sucker is born every minute. P.T. Barnum supposedly said that--anyway it's old news. The real story is the legitimate museum of John Banvard's, which P.T. Barnum managed to drive into absolute obscurity with his phoney cynical showmanship. Despite that Banvard's museum was air-conditioned, and Barnum ran a sweatshop full of ridiculous freak-show crap you had to pay to visit. Suckers. Go figure.

Go on with your Frank Abignale School of Significance, if that's what you understand. Pilots!--you damned idiots--gee! what did we do for Presidents before aviation? y'all are too goofed-up to talk to. You're smoking crack or something. There's never a leprechaun around when you need one.
