Five-engined aircraft

"Why do I stick to flying four engined aircraft?
Because Boeing doesn't make five engined aircraft!"

If I remember correctly, this was originally attributed to a former Chairman of Rolls Royce - except he said 'they' instead of 'Boeing'.
Coming from the maker of the said engines added a certain piquancy to the remark
