Arthur Rules

Nautilus/MedX inventor, Arthur Jones, his co-pilot (an elder man near deaf, and who generally ignored Arthur) and Dr. Michael Fulton (orthopedic representative for MedX Corporation) were flying to Daytona Beach, Florida from the west coast. Arthur was convinced there was something wrong with the plane and decided to land at his private jetport in Ocala (Fl) to check things out. The jetport housed the longest private runway in the world - elevated with slopes decending steeply into native brush on both sides. It was early AM.

Once the plane landed, Arthur insisted through a flurry of profanity that both passengers remain in their seats. And when Arthur insisted, you'd better not be deaf. After the tonguelashing, Jones lowered the steps of the plane to connect with planet earth. According to Fulton, "He disappeared into the dark." The plane was parked closer to the edge of the runway than anticipated. Jones ended up somewhere deep in the brush. The passengers didn't budge. Rules were rules.

Ten minutes later, the profanity returned, this time aimed at the pair who refused help.

Rules were rules.
