    There is a species of flying fish in the northwest Pacific region called Boeing interruptus that struggles to get airborne.

      Careful! I’ve heard of what happens to Boeing whistleblowers.

        They sleep with the flying fishes

            They fish with the sleeping flies?

      This is a common misunderstanding. They have no issue getting airborne, they do, however, have a habit of suddenly being not airborne, with catastrophic results.

        That’s not true - I’ve heard they’re too big to fall.

      Holy shit, I completely fell for that until I read the replies.

      Might be time for my medicine…
