      Does that mean when a plane crashes, it wasn’t flying?

      FLIGHT SAFETY INVESTIGATORS HATE THIS ONE TRICK

    When I was younger, I used to say, “if you make a man a fire, he’ll be warm for a night, but if you set a man on fire, he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.”

        He lit a man on fire and the man survived. Proving the saying to be wrong.

    Buy him a ticket in Row 26 of a Max 9 and you won’t even need to push.

    Did you know that you can jump off a plane without a parachute? Only, just once

      They did a randomized controlled trial and found that wearing a parachute did not significantly reduce death or major injury when jumping from a plane

        I hope you’re joking because the study is super tongue in cheek. They jumped out of an airplane when it was on the ground

    My version is different.

    Give a man a fish, and it feeds him for the day. Give him a poisoned fish, and it will feed him for the rest of his life.

      Give him Fugu served by a novice chef and it might feed him for the rest of his life.
