What a pisser!

From the article so you don't have to click:

Borbon also got notice for his mention in the 1980 movie "Airplane!" While trying to concentrate, pilot Ted Striker hears a public address announcer's voice in his head: "Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon ... Manny Mota."

"He was always talking about that," his son said. "A lot of people remember him by that. He liked that."
