If people would stop stealing the briefing cards, placards and other required equipment for souveniers, you wouldn't have been in that situation. Unfortunately, this happens from time to time and when it does, it's a circus. It isn't a maintenance item, it isn't a ground staff issue and it isn't something we normally have lying around. Usually ops has them, but it sounds like last night they didn't have any. Sounds like the crew did the best they could short of canceling the flight.

Mikey - you're not serious are you?
