Re: How Do I Get to the Empire State Building?

Posted by on December 6 at 16:06 PM

I will tell you how to get the Empire State Building: You go there by Boeing. After doing the tour of the airplane factory in Everett, I’m now a big fan of the commercial (rather than military) side of the corporation. The way they assemble an aeroplane just amazed me. The factory is as huge as a universe and the complexity of the process was so impressive that the very sight of the laborers, the machines, the plane parts, the cranes cured me of my fear of flying (I have only been in the air twice since 1999). I have decided that when I fly to New York City, there will be none of this Airbus business (Jet Blue). I will be loyal and demand from my agent a jet plane that was made in that magnificent factory in Everett. (Indeed, the news that Airbus won a huge deal from China yesterday upset me so.)

You still book flights with "an agent"???

As I said, I have only been in the air twice since 1999.
