Lord Privy Seal Dennis Tipping : You really don't like women much, do you?
ffolkes : I do not. You see, I, together with my five elder sisters, was raised by a maiden aunt. Both my parents died tragically in childbirth. Until the age of ten, I was forced to wear my sister's hand-me-downs. Then when I married, I discovered to my horror that my wife also had five sisters, all unmarried, and all expecting my support. I find cats a far superior breed. Just on the off chance, I have made a will. I've left everything to my cats. I want it testified that I am sound of body and mind. Well go on!

Fletcher : Work out what can be done if one of them is hijacked.
ffolkes : Don't the armed forces have some ideas in that department?
Fletcher : Undoubtedly. But an oil production platform isn't a building or an aeroplane. It's miles out to sea and you can't approach it without being seen or heard unless you come from below.
ffolkes : Only a man of superior intellect is likely to think of a satisfactory way of hijacking a platform or a rig.
Fletcher : Exactly.
ffolkes : Therefore, I must put myself in his position and devide a means of doing so. And having done that, I simply work out how to overpower myself!
-
