If it doesn't say Goodyear on it, I'm not interested.  [cheeky]

Frank: It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Jane: Goodyear?

Frank: No, the worst.

Akronites have an odd fondness of that blimp. It's civic pride.

That blimp was designed here, but wasn't manufactured in Akron. We get to see lots of blimps test flights and that one hasn't been passing by.
