Never underestimate the power of a man and his Black and Decker.

O.K. Here are the Thoughts of Chairman Penny:

First of all, I am surprised that no-one suggested that the best way of mending the prop would be by Photoshopping it - provided the pilot extracted his digits first! The other methods of dealing with it all leave something to be desired.

Then, I see that Danny has been carpet bombing us, followed closely by Jim's Brother. Thanks, guys, for keeping us entertained.

A small (very small) accolade now to Pontius for his most creative (and excessive) gratuitous use of the keystroke ^ in his post # 36854, all in such a short caption. Of course, I have no idea at all what he is talking about.

The winner comes from the other end of the spectrum - clear, to the point, and hitting all the nails on the head. Well done Javelin Boy for this:-

"Feeling a little under par but at least I got a hole in one."

We can mend that with Photoshopping, just keep your 'digits' out of it though.

"Hold your fire!", you said.

So I did.
"Let it come in real close behind us!", you said.
__So I did.
"When I waggle my rudder, shoot it with everything you've got!", you said.
__So I did.
