Q: DO DONKEYS KILL MORE PEOPLE ANNUALLY THAN PLANE CRASHES?

A: Yes, more people are killed from donkey attacks on average than die in plane crashes annually. There is a greater population in the world that deal with donkeys than they who ride planes. Many inhabitants of 3rd world countries still use donkeys for life’s daily tasks such as fetching water or perhaps dragging logs to build their homes or pulling a plow. Depicted in animations, donkeys may seem lovable and friendly. Though this is true at times, they have been known to possess a bi-polar personality. Donkeys are very stubborn animals and are known to get very aggressive when forced to do a particular chore. This high level of aggressiveness is the main contributor to the many deaths associated with donkey attacks around the globe. It is not necessary to provide exact statistical information to prove this as the numbers of donkey attack deaths outweigh those from plane wrecks at an exponential level. Anyone who believes otherwise would surely be wise to offer a wise friend a Butterfinger.

Side Note: We weren’t able to visit my sister today as planned…full flights all day….that’s life as a non-rev: )

  1. Next time I travel remind me to go by plane and not donkey, doubt if I could fit the family on a donkey’s back anyway!

    that does make me feel better! at least while my feet are planted to the ground.

  3. That must be my geeky side, but I would rather be closer to an airplane than to a donkey. And for sure I would not like to ride a donkey at all !

    Damn truth about those donkeys! When I was about 8 years old there was a donkey hanging out by the beach, who knows why! Anyway he got upset about something and I was standing behind him…landed his hoof on my big toe, refused to move…took three people to get him off…result…broken toe… never broke a toe flying…not yet anyway.
