Default Way OT: How to start a jet engine...video

I know this is OT, but I thought you all would enjoy this video.

Pull the ignition breakers and then carry out a normal start. When you have fuel flow, but no light off, reach over behind the F/O's seat and push the ignition breakers back in....

There's a story about the military pilot calling for a priority landing because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit low on fuel."

Air Traffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two behind a B-52 that had one engine shut down.

"Ah", the pilot remarked sarcastically, "the dreaded seven-engine approach".

whoa, how many clear plastic covers do they put over the switch to that puppy? Are all jet engines started in that manner? How often are they shut down?
