We've just lost number four!" to which he replies "Which side?"
When I first heard that it was No. Eight

Lost an engine on a 747 during climb, dumped and went back. Co-pilot queried this decision as we had enough fuel to continue to destination on 3, it being one of those fuel-tankering sectors - i.e. cheaper to top up ( and carry ) with cheap(er) fuel at that departure point. I pointed out that there was a lot of shark infested ocean between departure and arrival points.
