For those of you thinking about airplane ownership

Here is a test my mechanic suggested for those thinking about buying a
plane (or boat, etc).

Go to the bank and request $100 from your account. Get the cash in
the form of a crisp new $100 bill.

Go outside, and with a match or lighter set fire to the $100 bill.
Hold it in your hand and watch it burn. Throw the remainder on the
ground, grind it out, get in your car and drive away.

If this doesn't bother you in the least then you are ready to buy. If
it does, better take up some other hobby.
