Yeah, but what I wanna know is, why didn’t anyone pick up on your use of the word “surely” and make an _Airplane!_ joke? ---

Do you interpret this failure as a personality flaw? ---

Surely you must be joking? ---

Again you’re gonna let an _Airplane!_ joke opportunity pass you by? ---

Haven’t we exhibited the greatest restraint in resisting the temptation to fall into that? ---

Well, I mean, c’mon, that’s just _wrong_, isn’t it? This is _the Dope_, isn’t it? ---

Why do I feel like we should take this thread in a wildly different direction? ---

Well, can’t any one of us take control of the steering wheel at any given time? ---

Isn’t the trick of it, though, to do it while not making it appear very abrupt and unwarranted? ---

What, this thread’s not exciting enough for you already? ---

So, what’s everyone’s favorite menu item at Arby’s? Who likes the gyros? ---

Is that really the best new direction we can come up with? I mean why not a discussion about the Meaning of Life? Would someone like to start that? Wouldn’t a question about that have a most edifying and life-affirming value that would be sure to elevate everyone who participated? ---

Arby’s is my fast-food guilty pleasure and I particularly like the Beef 'N Cheddar, the curly fries and the Jamocha shakes; who’s with me? ---

Would you believe I’ve been to Arby’s more times than I can count, and I’ve never had a Jamocha Shake? ---
