Little known fact: when working on Nick Castle's The Boy Who Could Fly, "Bissell-ing" was invented.

It started at a dinner with Bissell, Castle, Ron Cobb, and their wives.

The rule became: you cannot drink the wine until you have Bisselled - Which involves, dropping the cork onto a plate repeatedly until the cork stands up on one end.

We have tried to propagate this throughout the world and currently, Nick Castle the Bissell-ing record - 3-corks simultaneously!

Give Bissilling a try!

Bissell is married to Martha Wynne.
