I see there will be an autopsy done to determine whether he ate the chicken or fish.
My guess it's the fish.


(I borrowed the basic concept for the joke from another forum...I don't think Mr. Nielson would mind a bit of humour.)

Right now he is somewhere explaining to God, "Heaven is a big place in the sky with clouds and Angels, but that's not important right now."

I was/am a big fan of Airplane! and the Naked Gun series. Reading all your thoughts and puns made me laugh and remember what a funny man he was. You've all quoted my favs so I'll just say thanks gang and we'll miss you Leslie :(

I've watched Airplane dozens upon dozens of times, to the point that I can recite the dialogue at any part of the movie...and it STILL cracks me up.

What I didn't know until this year, though, was how much the Zucker Brothers borrowed from the movie "Zero Hour"...almost line for line. Check this out for yourself. Definitely worth 7 minutes of your time!

I know there were also scenes from "The High and the Mighty" that were borrowed for Airplane, too, but the "Zero Hour" parallels are amazing.
