I just saw these on a website... Would like to post it here - just to break the ice... No offense intended to your wives or girlfriends... Reasons where planes are better than women: 1. An airplane will kill you quickly... A woman takes her time.2. Airplanes like to do it inverted.3. Airplanes can be turned on by a flick of a switch.4. An airplane's thrust to weight ratio is higher.5. An airplane does not get mad if you 'touch and go.'6. An airplane does not object to a preflight inspection.7. Airplanes come with manuals.8. Airplanes have strict weight and balance limits.9. You can fly an airplane any time of the month.10. Airplanes don't come with in-laws.11. Airplanes don't whine unless something is really wrong.12. Airplanes don't care about how many other airplanes you have flown.13. When flying, you and your airplane both arrive at the same time.14. Airplanes don't mind if you look at other airplanes, or if you buy airplane magazines.

I'm picturing you and your favorite airplane, and it's just weird.

Yeah, but you can't fly two airplanes at the same time, can you?

very well played

I agree but.....

And in the interests of gender equality & Mrs Tim's sensibilities, more reasons why aeroplanes are worse... 1. You need an expensive licence to fly one.2. You can only get a licence after spending hours with someone else telling you what you're doing wrong before they let you even practice on your own3. If you really get it wrong, the AAIB / NTSB / BEA / whoever will come and find out the details, and publish them4. You can only fly them at night or when it's cloudy if you get another even more expensive licence5. You have to plan where you're going to go, and tell someone else, before you even start6. Once you have started, some guy watching a monitor will interrupt you by spouting lots of jargon at inconvenient moments7. They can only be flown by strict reference to checklists that you have to run through in sequence. 8. In some cases, another person has to sit beside you telling you what to do, and operating some of the controls himself9. Unless you're fabulously rich, you can only rent one or own a share in one along with lots of other people10. Often, they have other people in the back at the same time

And...your darling plane has to be regularly serviced by some guy in greasy overalls
