Afraid to Fly? Just in Case You Were Wondering...

Do donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes?



Apparently so!  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 developing
nations 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 loveable 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.

About the Picture Not the Bi-Polar Donkey Attacks: =)

I feel this way every now and again...harnessed to a back-heavy cart, feet in the air, just hanging out until someone gets me down.
