Excerpt from an interview with a senior executive of a large corporation about his travel habits…

Globe – What do you do during these flights?

Executive – It depends on the flight. I do lots of preparation work. I’m a planner by nature. I tend to do that last minute on the plane. I always catch a flick too.

3 things come to mind:
1. I’ve often had trouble citing an oxymoron – But.... "lots of preparation as a last minute planner"….I’ll hang onto this one.
2. Drop the oxy and think moron.
3. If it’s an 80 minute flight and the ‘flick” is 95 minutes…does he miss the flick and cram his last minute planning, or pay the pilot for a “go around”.

Oh, but for the words we all wish we could suck back in.
