Many thanks, Duncan, for your always informative attempts to

situation, but I'm afraid even that URL still leaves me completely in the
dark w.r.t. 'Shirley' - despite having lived in the USA 1986-1987!
Part of the impact in the movie had to do with the phrasing, "But
Doctor, surely you can do something about it."
"No I can't, and don't call me Shirley."
The way it was said, it was actually reasonable to think that the
sentence started off, "But Doctor Shirley..."
This is a surprisingly long discussion for a bunch of internet-enabled
geeks. :)
Here is a youtube clip of one of times (maybe the first time) the joke
is used in the movie. Only 17 seconds. For more, search youtube for
'airplane shirley'.

This movie is, btw, one of my favourite comedies.
