　　"Ladies and gentlemen," he announced, "we've lost most of our power. The only way to keep the plane aloft is to lighten our load. We've alreadydumped the baggage, but it's not enough. I-m asking for volunteers to make the supreme sacrifice so that others may live, "

　　After a few minutes of stunned silence, a Frenchman stood to quivering attention, shouted "Vive la France!" and threw himself out the door.
