Since I first saw Airplane! When I was 9, it was my favorite movie. I didn’t understand all the jokes at first, but my love for the film has only increased over time. The beauty of the movie is that it’s played as a straight drama with serious actors like Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, and Leslie Nielsen (pre-Naked Gun, but wooden as the Captain in The Poseidon Adventure). The most famous line in the movie is when Ted Striker (played by Robert Hayes) asks Dr. Rhumack (played by Leslie Nielsen), “Surely, you can’t be seri- ous?” Of course, Dr. Rhumack re- sponds: “I am seri- ous, and don’t call me Shirley.” My favorite line is Dr. Rhumack saying he remembers he had the lasagna when Elaine, tells him the choices on the flight were steak or fish. That being said, this article is surprisingly easy things plan sponsors shouldn’t be doing, but have been done.
