Why many pilots prefer airplanes to 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 a manual to explain their operation.
* Airplanes have strict weight and balance limitations.
* Airplanes can be flown at 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.
