Which brings about an idea. If another health care thread starts, can we decide the issue by aerial combat? At one time trial by combat was considered the de-facto way to settle these things, and this would be so much less messy than dueling pistols. A four-ship engagement, Michelle and Fliterman vs. opponents to be determined by luck of the draw?

Because that whole “we are well-met” thing should happen at the bar. You know, after the smoke has settled.

My goodness, but does this gig of yours have potential or what? I can see a whole host of targeted markets. Union negotiations, confidence-building weekends, team-work retreats… Name a corporate waste-of-time or a confrontation in the business world and who wouldn’t want to do it in an airplane?
