Wasn't said argument that led to Gunther being sacked, because of Gunther
breaking Danny's drumsticks or something, and Dave and Danny having to fix
them with duct-tape? I believe the last line of 'The Eleventh Second Of
Forever' was something like "On the eleventh second of forever, we repaired
the broken shades laying on the tarmac with duct-tape", but it was really a
subtle jab at Gunther.
