Quotes
David Letterman: Here's something you can do, if you get bored on a flight - like, a three-, four-hour flight - here's something you can do to always amuse yourself. Wait 'til the person in the seat next to you falls asleep - it's a lot of fun. Then what you do, you reach over, get their attention - maybe get them around the throat, give 'em one of these. And then you say something like, "Well, I guess we're gonna find out now if these seat cushions really do float, huh?"
