One year, the Aggies were flying into Baton Rouge from College Station on a 4-engine jet. About 30 minutes into the flight the captain comes on the P.A. system. “Ladies and genltemen, we have a problem. We have lost an engine, but don’t worry, we’ll still make it to Baton Rouge, we’ll just be an hour late.”
30 minutes later, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Regretably, we have lost a second engine, but not to worry, we’ll still get there, just two hours behind schedule.”
30 minutes later, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Regretably, we have lost a third engine, but not to worry, we’ll still get there, just three hours behind schedule.”
By now the players and other flyers were getting restless. After all, the game was at 7 and their flight was schedule for noon. So, 15 minutes later, when the captain announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry, but we have lost our final engine,” the team captain stood and shouted, “Oh, let me guess, we’re gonna be FOUR hours late now?!”
