It's Not All in the Name...

Tell me I'm meeting a fella named Chesley B. Sullenberger III and I figure I'm going to have to deal either with some upper-crust New Englander with his teeth surgically stitched together to make his accent come out right or a guy wearing a Colonel Sanders suit and offering me a julep.

Nope -- it's this guy, whose textbook-perfect emergency landing in the Hudson River saved everyone on board his airplane. After landing and getting the passengers out onto the wings of the plane, he walked through the whole cabin twice to make sure everyone was out.

One website commenter said that "Sully" is a fellow who may never have to pay for another beer in his life. I agree. Even if I would buy him a non-alcoholic beverage instead.
