Probably three. I'm working up to my Henny Youngman routine.
Back in 1968 I was flying back to dental school in Memphis. The plane landed in about 2 smaller cities before ending in Memphis. So I was deeply entranced in reading a book, interrupted first by passengers deplaning followed by passengers getting on the plane. That activity caused me to look up. Lo & behold coming toward me was Henny Youngman; it immediately dawned on me that this had to be Menphis, the only stop big enough for Youngman to perform in. Knee-jerk style, I bolted up. I startled Youngman & immediately said "Take my seat, please." I got to the exit just as they were about to close up.
