When I was in the RAF we were working hand in glove with some Americans. One bright spark compile a USA/English dictionary. My dad told me an airline story: Typically, the crew radios in maintenance issues on a company channel while in-flight, so things can be dealt with quickly. One day, the report was "elevator jammed." Crash crews alerted, medics on standby, the whole nine yards. They were talking about a small dumbwaiter between decks (this was a jumbo jet). Thereafter, this device was referred to as the "lift." -- Gary Woods AKA K2AHC- PGP key on request, or at home.earthlink.net/~garygarlic Zone 5/4 in upstate New York, 1420' elevation. NY WO G |
