I happened to see that, for the first time, as I was packing for a transcontinental flight. I laughed my butt off. I hate flying, but love to travel, and that routine really made me laugh and made that trip so much better. (Flying to Sydney Australia, a long flight indeed)
He has nearly the same sense of humor that I have. After flying for over 4 hours, landing in LAX, we were looking for food. We ended up in the Alaska club where they were serving REAL FOOD! Restaurant sized portions of real Salmon, and all the trimmings! We were so blown away. The wife commented that this was unexpected, and so much appreciated. I commented that it was like the 'last supper'. Yeah, I got 'the look', and a few of the people around me heard it and I got a look of horror from a few. But, yeah, it was so unexpected. We'd grazed through the cheese and veggies at the Delta club, so didn't expect anything different. Surprise... Maybe they changed their club by now, but their club, at that point, would almost make it worth flying their airline more often.
But Ron White. Funny, but he also needs some new material. I saw one of his latest performances in the box, and was surprised that he was retelling two routines that I've seen him do a few times before. Disappointed, but he IS funny.

ETOPS rating is all very good at the start of a flight, but not at the end when the aircraft may have as little as 60 minutes fuel on board.
ETOPS does not abrogate alternate and min. fuel requirements and 60' fuel means you are in that state!
If you are thinkin' ETOPS with 60 minutes fuel left, you missed a class or two.
