Taxiing
down the tarmac, the jetliner
abruptly stopped, turned around and
returned to the gate. After an
hour-long wait, it finally took off. A
concerned passenger asked the
flight attendant, „What was the
problem?“ „The pilot was bothered by a
noise he heard in the
engine,“
explained the flight attendant,
„and it took us a while to find a new
pilot.“
