The pilot of a plane makes an announcement to his passengers
"This is your captain speaking, I'm sorry to annouce we have just lost our Port engine, please don't worry everything is under contol, we are just going to slow down a little drop a few feet in altitude but I am afraid it will put about another 1 1/2 hrs on our journey, but not to worry!"
"This is your captain talking. I have some good news and some bad news, The bad news is that we have just lost our starboard engine, but the good news is that it`s on the opposite side to the last one so things are now ballanced up and we have everything under control. Please don`t worry. We are going to drop a few more feet in altitude and slow down a little but I am afraid it will put an additional 2hrs. on our journey.
"This is your captain, I'm afraid we have just lost our in-port engine but everything is still under control, we will drop a few more feet and slow down a little more, but it will put about 2 1/2 hrs on our journey."
One passanger turns to another and says "Holy cow! I hope we don`t loose that last engine, we will be up here all night!!!!!"
