15 reasons airplanes are easier than women
- Airplanes usually kill you quickly - a woman takes her time
- Airplanes can be turned on by a flick of a switch
- Airplanes don't get mad if you do a "touch and go"
- Airplanes don't object to a pre-flight inspection
- Airplanes come with manuals to explain their operation
- Airplanes have strict weight and balance limitations
- Airplanes can be flown any time of the month
- Airplanes don't come with in-laws
- Airplanes don't care about how many other airplanes you've flown before
- Airplanes and pilots both arrive at the same time
- Airplanes don't mind if you look at other airplanes
- Airplanes don't mind if you buy airplane magazines
- Airplanes expect to be tied down
- Airplanes don't comment on your piloting skills
- Airplanes don't whine unless something is really wrong.
However, when airplanes go quiet, just like women, it's usually not good.
