Sixteen reasons why airplanes are easier to live with than women:

1) Airplanes usually kill you quickly – a woman takes her time.
2) Airplanes can be turned on by a flick of a switch.
3) Airplanes don’t get mad if you do a “touch and go.”
4) Airplanes don’t object to a pre-flight inspection.
5) Airplanes come with manuals to explain their operation.
6) Airplanes have strict weight and balance limitations.
7) Airplanes can be flown any time of the month.
8) Airplanes don’t come with in-laws.
9) Airplanes don’t care about how many other airplanes you’ve flown before.
10) Airplanes and pilots both arrive at the same time.
11) Airplanes don’t mind if you look at other airplanes.
12) Airplanes don’t mind if you buy airplane magazines.
13) Airplanes expect to be tied down.
14) Airplanes don’t comment on your piloting skills.
15) Airplanes don’t whine unless something is really wrong.

16) However, when airplanes go quiet, just like women, it’s usually not good

That brought a tear to me eye....Beautiful...

I'm in AFGHN and we had a similar list....

You Know You Are In Afghanistan if…
1. You flinched from a controlled detonation your first week, then stand in the open to watch real mortars landing– a month later.
2. The most intimate contact you’ve had in months is with the shower curtain.
3. Your most successful pick-up line is “I’ve got a vehicle.”
4. In PT gear all the Air Force people look like glow-in-the-dark Power Rangers and you can’t even see the Army Folks.
5. Your 06:00 wake-up call is: BOOM “ROCKET ATTACK - ROCKET ATTACK. Take cover immediately.”
6. They actually give weapons to the Air Force personnel.
7. You give directions using T-Wall & bunker murals as points of reference.
8. You realize AAFES is their own country and can print their own money. (POGS)
9. The amount of sand in your boots is only surpassed by the amount in your nose.
10. Something as simple as taking a shower or going to the bathroom at 02:00 requires preparation equal to the Apollo moon landing.
