“I need to get my carryon (sic) from the overhead!”

If there were mainly Western - esp. US - passengers they would not follow directions to leave their things behind - but would try and get their mammoth-size “carry ons” from the overheads and in doing so block the aisles and many, many people would have died...

yeppers...

BUT could he drive!!

“I always wondered why you just wouldn’t let them leave.”

Back when NASCAR - and motor sports in general, looking at you F1 - was still drivers driving... and (i) making mistakes and (ii) showing incredible skills on occasion...
Someone like, say, Peter Brock, the Australia larrikin, would never be on a circuit these days...

The two I heard / read:

I have a lot of motorcycles...
I have a ‘03 Forestor that I haver spent ~$1,500 in the last 10 years on tyres and maintenance - and it was a free car due to an insurance payout in ‘13 due to hail damage... and it just keeps going & going, including cresting deep-ish snow on the dirty road I live on in Colorado... 200k+…

oh, brodozers....

Exactly - powered devices that could go to the downed airman wherever they end up 

but lucky enough to find themselves near one such bouy.

They are very useful IMHO, drivers when seeing them are reminded that they are in a machine that can kill, that indeed it has happened at exactly this location - and that when there are many on, say, one corner, your risk is much higher...

A fool and his money and all that...

2.8D as a geologist back in the day, truly amazing

“are built with care”

he was on his 10th day of a 19-day vacation

Like FIFA having a world cup in Qatar?
Oh yeah, that was out and out bribery...

F1, I introduce you to the phrase: “Due Diligence”

Reminds me of the arrogance of the grifter Scott Tucker making payday loans, even in states where these high-interest, low-principal loans were restricted or illegal, then trying to bribe 1st Nation tribes to hide them - all to fund his race car fetish... serving 16 years, thanks NY DOJ, nice work!
