Okay, don't take it too serious...

Manufactor (M)
Customer (C)

M: Sir, may I introduce our absolutely crash proof airplane?
C: What does it mean "crash proof"?

M: Well, as you and everybody else knows, more than 75% accidents are pilot's error.
C: Okay, and what's your solution?

M: Good question. We have several features in our highly sophisticated machines, that simply overrule the pilot if he is doing something wrong.

C: Please get more in detail.

M: Well, for example, if a pilot doesn't react to overspeed, the aircraft takes care automatically.

C: How about that?

M: The plane simply raises the nose, climbs away to get rid of the overspeed.

C: That's great. Tell me more, please.

M: Well, in the opposite, if one of these monkeys gets too slow, the plane will automatically gain speed by lowering the nose.

C: Cool, so we don't need expensive training 'cause the plane is so forgiving?

M: Indeed, that's the point. In addition, if you want these overpaid guys to convert to another type of our production line, just give them a DVD, that's it.
