-Another Joseph Heller moment brought to you by manned flight-

Before this issue gets too stale for consumption, consider the possibilities of a pilot’s call for mental competency.

"News accounts over the weekend said that the pilot called passengers who did not accept Christ "crazy," but [American Airlines Spokesman] Mr. Wagner said that it was American's understanding that the pilot actually "said something along the line of 'look at all these crazy people who were willing to raise their hands.'"

Crazy Christians, or Crazy pagans, the result is the same. The pilot is telling everyone who didn't raise their hands that they are crazy. Though we can't see the pilot, we know that the pilot is crazy if his or her hands are down. If his or her hands are raised, they are not holding onto the controls.

And that's crazy.
