That is where you were mistaken. I didn't intend to convey a terse tone.
It was deadpan humor.


I didn't see the "deadpan" emoticon.... :-)

:-| Is that it? Admittedly, I didn't think about it until after.

Wouldn't that be ...a smelly?

You know, you can be a real turd, sometimes!

I got it, the first time past.

Oh, no! That doesn't mean I'm developing a British sense of humor, does it?

I think we're well beyond that, now we're into bedpan humor.

GUMPS. I hope I never forget it.

GUMP does not stand for Gas, Undercarriage, Mixture, Prop.

It actually stands for:

G - Gear Down
U - Undercarriage down
M - Make sure the wheels are down
P - Put the wheels down

Bad form following up to one's own post, but I forgot to add that if the
gear up incident in the Arrow was bad, consider the fate our Grumman
met. It's fixed gear and it got landed gear up. Or rather gear removed -
a botched landing resulted in two of the three gear legs being torn off
- go around from a downwind landing, and went through the hedge at the
end of the runway...

Did you do that, or was it a club plane, or something?
