The DC-8 and the Trike (joke)
One day the pilot of a Trike was told by the tower to hold short of the active runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Trike. Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, “What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?” The Trike pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: “I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I’ll have enough for two more.”

That one killed for sure. I'm gonna wake someone up laughing. Sadly its not an atypical impression of Trikes, I know some have been called lawn furniture, and GA plilots seem to frown on us, until they see something like this dashboard, full of gauges, transponder, multi channel radio etc etc etc . Funny thing is I've taken a few GA pilots up flying in my trike now, and they ALWAYS seem to be in awe of the view and freedom experienced when flying a trike.
If we are to believe the Polls here, trikers prefer digital 4:1
