> [@Revtim](#): > > Reminds me of that “Kids In The Hall” sketch where the guy was on trial for resorting to cannabalism because his plane was stuck on the runway for fifteen minutes. 😃 Thanks for reminding me of that. Also reminds me of the SNL sketch where the teleprompter goes out for the morning news program and the hosts panic and ultimately resort to cannibalism. ---
