As a way off topic response, I live in North Carolina, home of "I bet
I can deep fry that". For proof, our State Fair is going on now, and
there are deep fried Coca Cola soaked breads, pickles, candy
bars, . . . It might have been here that chicken fried steak was
invented: start with a great steak, coat it with bread crumbs, and fry
until well past well done.

The airspace above the Fair should be restricted -- it may be CAVU but
the vapors on your windscreen will make it actual IMC in the cockpit.
Of course, your engine will run rich, ingesting a near explosive
mixture of air and grease vapor. And drag goes down too -- but be
careful exiting your low winged airplane, the traction you expect will
not be the grease does that.

Close by are some of the better heart hospitals in the country.
Coincidence? I think not.

Now, back to the regularly scheduled program.


Anyone here a "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!" fan? Remember the episode
with Paula Deen (and the infamous tofu segment?). The panelists were
chatting with Paula about her new line of furniture and one of the
panelists (Mo Rocca, maybe?) asked "How do you deep fry an ottoman?"

Without missing a beat she replied "Oh, it's easy, honey, you just
dip it in egg first...."
