Twenty-five Turning Leaves

 

“The other day on a plane I thought, ‘I wonder if there’s keys to the plane? Do they need keys to start the plane?’ Maybe that’s what those delays on the ground are sometimes. When you’re just sitting there at the gate, maybe the pilot’s up there in the cockpit going, ‘Oh, I don’t believe this. I did it again.’ They tell you it’s something mechanical, because they don’t want to come on the P.A. system, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we’re going to be delayed here on the ground for a little while. I, uh, this is so embarrassing. I, I left the keys to the plane in my apartment. They’re in this big blue ashtray by the front door. I’m really sorry. I’ll run back and get them.’ You see the technicians all running around underneath the plane. You think they’re servicing it, but they’re actually looking for one of those magnet Hide-A-Keys under the wing.” – Jerry Seinfeld, Is This Anything?
