You forgot a couple:
"It is the pilot's job to arrive at the crash site first." Quote from an american friend of mine.
"Flying in cloud in New Guinea is like eating a box of chocolates - some of them have soft centres and some of them have HARD centres" quote from a PNG pilot WAY before Forrest Gump got hold of it and twisted it!!!

GG,
To carry on Travelling Toolbox's theme (sorry if I seem like a bitter old PNG jock. But I am.) a phrase I've heard more than once and usually from Islander pilots:
"Flying in PNG is like playing Russian Roulette - with a full chamber."

Fission,
Why would you turn around and sit on the control column...why not stick a banana up your ass and watch the crash unfold.
By the way how often do you sit on the joystick?

In the spirit of this thread - there are probably some freight dogs out there who would appreciate these, though I think they originated in the US.
You might be a freight dog if...
Your airplane was getting old when you were born.
You have not done a daylight landing in the past six months.
ATC advises you of smoother air at a different altitude, and you don't care.
When you taxi up to an FBO they roll out the red carpet, but quickly take it back when they recognise you.
You call the hotel van to pick you up and they don't understand where you are on the airport.
Centre asks you to "keep the chickens down" so they can hear you talk.
Your airplane has more than 75,000 cycles.
Your company call sign is "Oil Can".
The lady at the FBO locks up the popcorn machine because you plan on "making a meal of it".
Your airplane has more than eight faded logos on it.
You wear the same shirt for a week, and no one complains.
Centre mispronounces your call sign more than three times in one flight.
Your D O mysteriously changes your max. takeoff weight during the holiday season.
Every FBO makes you park out of sight of their building.
You have ever walked barefoot through the FBO because you just woke up.
You mark every ramp with engine oil.
Everything you own is in your- flight bag and suitcase.
