I once wrote a toast for a meeting of the Wright Patterson AFB chapter of the Man Will Never Fly Society attended by engineers and aviators from the base:

It's been a plot that's run for years
To prove the myth of flight.
Thousands of people have been employed
Like those of you tonight.
If man were really meant to fly
They'd hire a competent crew.
The proof that man will never fly
Is in the likes of you!

Cheers!
