<Four hours to bury the cat ???????>
<Yesss, wouldn't keep still, kept mucking about, 'owling...>

Then there's the one about the 747 in the exact geometrical center of the   
Atlantic ocean, when one of the engines quit.  The Captain comes on the
intercom and says, "Sorry about the inconvienience, but this airplane can
fly perfectly well on three engines.  This only means we'll be 30 minutes
late getting into New York."  All goes well for a little while longer,
until the Captain comes on again.  "Ladies and Gentlemen," he says "You may
not believe this, but we have lost a second engine.  Not to worry, we can
fly OK on the two remaining engines, but we'll be an hour late getting into
New York."  Life goes on for a short time, when (you guessed it) the Captain
comes on again, saying, "Well, ladies and gentlemen, a one-in-a-million
chance has occurred, and we have lost our third engine.  Our last engine
is perfectly healthy, and we can maintain altitude.  However, this means
that we will be two hours late getting into New York."  At this point,   
one of the passengers turns to a friend and says, "You know, if this keeps up,
we'll never get down."
