Now, here's one for you. You reset your totalizer but the Line Goober
used an "auto off" nozzle that left you ten gallons short on a side. You
run one dry, but now your totalizer thinks you have twenty gallons more
than you have. Who now is the safe one? The one that timed a tank to see
how long it ran dry (and hence remaining time in the other one, since
Goober probably used the same technique on one tank as the other) or the
one that relies on the totalizer with about two hours less than
calculated?


Who the heck flies a plane without visually examining their fuel supply
before each flight?

Oh, wait -- I forgot about those silly *high wings* and that whole "find a
ladder" thing.

Sorry, man.
