Do you think aircraft can be given a CofA out there...if you can sacrifice a goat in front of it?

I might give that a go on shift tomorrow, except I think I will stand in front of a 737 and offer a brown liquid to the god of headaches. Make me feel good, but probably wont fill the passengers looking down on to the ramp with mush confidence  ;D

I'm sure repairs were  carried out; this is just a local custom, like how priests used to sometimes offer prayers or blessings in similar situations in Europe and the US.

And a goat sacrifice is the perfect excuse for a BBQ. Mmmm... curried goat... ;D

Keeps the locals happy, particularly any airport workers who might be distracted by a feeling that bad karma was lurking, having been raised among the superstitious.

So what would be best to sacrifice in front of the Vulcan then?

A couple of Chavs would things rolling ;D
