  • Reporter : What kind of plane is it?

    Johnny : Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.

  • Striped controller : Bad news. The fog's getting thicker.

    Johnny : [jumps to an overweight controller]  And Leon is getting laaaaarrrrrger.
