I've heard some of those before. They're all good ones.
Robert J. Serling, in his book
The Probable Cause, quotes the story of an airline captain who is asked by a passenger if he's more careful when carrying a full load than when he only has, as in this case, a handful on board. His reply? "No offense, ma'am, but it doesn't matter if I'm hauling cargo and have no passengers at all. There's only one person I'm interested in getting there in one piece. The rest of you are just along for the ride."
My dad once told me "Passengers never realize that the airliner is designed so the part with the pilot in it hits the ground first."
