A 4 engined flight from UK takes off.
One hour into the journey, the captain comes on over the tannoy and states
'Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a problem with our outboard starboard engine, and we have had to switch it off. Nothing to worry about, but it means we will be late by about one hour at our destination'
Paddy looks at his mate Seamus and says 'It's OK, captain said so, but a bit of a pain to be an hour late'
Two hours go by.
