Though it was scheduled to take its first flight last month, the 300-plus passenger Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft has hit several costly snags, and likely won’t be put into use until 2010. What are the causes of the delay?

Out of screws

Drink cart didn’t have enough room for Sprite

Fired the guy who knew how to make the engines

Seats weren’t that comfortable

Lost keys to room that has all the wings

Had to start over from scratch when someone noticed that all the stenciling read "Boring 787"
