That's the problem with you Cobb, I can never tell when you're being
serious.  I'm not talking about scootering into the cargo bay of an
aircraft carrier....  I'm talking about an access hatch, maybe 3' by 3'
or less.  Hallways not more than 4X4.  You know as well as I do that
it's not a safe place to be.....
