Another apocryphal tale 'circa 69 when the engines were not lasting 5 minutes came from Jim McRoberts RIP who was one of several instructors grounded that day until serviceability improved.

"You know, for years I thought I was getting the *hitty end of the stick but now they've taken the stick away!"

Might be relevant to a few more aircrew soon, sadly.
