Did you know that there is no such thing as stewardesses anymore. They are called flight attendants now. I liked them better as stewardesses, just as I like a female actor to be actress. I'm all for women getting equal pay, but taking away these old titles took away something from women.

Hey, I sure did turn the subject around. Now how did I do that? Oh, I got to monologuing.
