wouldn't it be funny if?

wouldn't it be funny if you flew 5000 miles, got safely to your destination within all legal norms, only to find out the spare part (engine etc) was only available at the airport of departure? and that you could save money and time by returning and getting repaired instead of pressing on?

and the spare part couldn't get to the plane for a week? and that a three engine ferry couldn't be done because ferry permits were delayed due to a govt shutdown?
