Turely, a very nice gentleman. He used to bring his cars to me for their Inspcetions, when I was running the Smog Test-ONly center.

 

Great sense of humor, just a 'real person'.

 

When he first came in, I had just played 'Airplane' the day before (I had a DVD/TV/Sound system in the waiting room). My next-door shop neighbor, Joe, kept repeating quotes from the movie. Mr. Graves just laughed and said "I'm NEVER gonna live that movie down. But I'm glad you all enjoyed it"

Operator: [Captain Oveur is on the phone with the Mayo Clinic] Excuse me, Captain Oveur, but I have an emergency call on line 5 from a Mr. Hamm.

Captain Oveur: Alright, give me a Hamm on 5, hold the Mayo.

And I wonder how many times they did that before they stopped laughing.

It's funny, no matter how many times I see that movie, I keep finding something new to laugh at.

 

Listening to the commentary, apparently with this movie, they tried sticking in everything they could think of for laughs...basically using the shotgun effect.

 

"I say, let 'em crash!"
