Departure to Nicaragua

Our flight was late taking off.  The pilot said: "A minor maintenence problem."  My mind said: "Oh sure, like the starboard engine won't start?  Don't worry folks, we have another engine that should run ok. It usually does."  Or maybe the pilot was named "Halsey."  As in: "Admiral Halsey noteefied me, he aad to aave a baath or e couldn't get to sea." As I was contemplating all that, they evidently worked things out and we pulled away from the gate.  I was no longer worried about the maintenence problem because I saw the crew. As long as they don't have parachutes on, I'm ok.
