John,

I've known Neil a long time and he is a good friend. He has a gift of a
"special sense of creative humor" that just takes a little getting used to.

C'mon Neil,
    Everyone over 25 knows that the E ticket ride refers to the ticket books
sold at Disneyland where the E ticket was needed for the best rides in the
park and you always went home and saved the tickets that would get you on
the kiddie rides
