Further Attempts Would Be Seen As Futile

In March 1989, the host of TVs Gambit, Wink Martindale crashed his experimental plane directly into the No Man’s Land between East and West Germany. As he climbed unharmed out of the smoldering rubble, he famously quipped, "I’ll take a hoagy with extra mayo!" This light-hearted remark is said to be approximately 37% responsible for the fall of the Berlin wall later that year.
