Isn't it great when it works right? I'm always amazed at how well a
busy, uncontrolled airport can function when everyone is on the ball.

Reminds me of a commercial, I don't remember when or where, or even
what the product was (maybe a tourism ad for some friendly state). It
was of an intersection where two "nice" people happen to come to a stop
at the same time. Each one waving on the other one, "after you..."
"no, after you..." "no, after you..." "no, after you..." "no, after
you..." "no, after you..." and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on,
and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and
so on, and so on, and so on... Which also reminds me of another
commercial. g

sigh... I'm getting old...

Well, I've forgotten the source, but it was Alphonse and Gaston saying,
"You first."
