Lawyers Flying Gliders

Wrong! Clearly, you do not have the mind of a lawyer.
You can sue your
instructor, who failed to teach properly. You can
sue the owner of the
field, who failed to mark, designate or level. You
can sue the aircraft
manufacturer, who failed to build so that a fool (or
lawyer) could operate
it. You can sue the FAA, who mistakenly gave you a
license. You can sue
the controller, who authorized you to damage your aircraft.
And, what about
the hapless individual who sold you this intrument
of destruction and failed
to warn you that it might crash if improperly piloted?
Then there is the
author of the glider book you read and relied upon,
who neglected to warn
about the dangers of uneven grass runways. And the
publisher who allowed
the book you read to be published. Then, the local
weather bureau, which
did not mention that for every up draft, there is a
down draft.

So, this may be the answer to the original question.
Lawyers are so busy
filing lawsuits they do not have enough time to fly.

Argued like a great trial lawyer. With so many opportunities
to sue you'd think lawyers would be flocking to soaring
-- and encouraging their clients to join too.
