So, uh, how do you feel about fire trucks? Pretty cool, eh?
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?
Why the uncertainty?
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?
Who are we to judge?
Uh… other Dopers?
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?
That might make it more exciting, don’t you think?
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?
Why not? Don’t you know that they’re cold, delicious and refreshing?
