GOD:
Arthur! Arthur, King of the Britons!
Oh, don't grovel!
One thing I can't stand, it's people groveling.
ARTHUR:
Sorry.
GOD:
And don't apologize. Every time I try to talk to someone it's 'sorry this' and 'forgive me that' and 'I'm not worthy'.
What are you doing now?!
ARTHUR:
I'm averting my eyes, O Lord.
GOD:
Well, don't. It's like those miserable Psalms-- they're so depressing. Now, knock it off!
ARTHUR:
Yes, Lord.
I could go one forever, but best not to kick the backside out of it.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
