Landing the Plane

I'm at a party last night, and a strikingly handsome and charming Sergio is telling me about how he used to go into work a little early each day to get in a little research on the bar's diverse tequila offerings. The boss was not the type that would see this as human capital improvement that would benefit his clientele, so Sergio had to be careful not to be obviously boozed up when the boss arrived.

Toward this end, he would eat a little bread (pancito) after the drinks in an effort to sober himself up. He explained that in Spanish, this is referred to as 'bajar el avión,' or 'to land the plane.'

In the immortal words of Lisa Simpson, "Can't talk. Coming down."
