Airplanes and Women

Sixteen reasons why airplanes are easier to live with than women:
1) Airplanes usually kill you quickly - a woman takes her time.
2) Airplanes don't object to a preflight inspection.
3) Airplanes come with manuals to explain their operation.
4) Airplanes have strict weight and balance limitations.
5) Airplanes don't come with in-laws.
6) Airplanes don't care about how many other airplanes you've hung out with before.
7) Airplanes don't mind if you look at other airplanes.
8) Airplanes don't whine unless something is really wrong.
9) However, when airplanes go quiet, just like women,it's usually not good.
