If someone asks if you are a pilot, you can say...(and this is the
best part)

"Yes, yes I am"

Priceless!

If you require the reflection of another person to validate your
aviation experience, you aren't doing it right.

The joy of dwelling in the third dimension and beholding the sights
from a lofty vantage point, not to mention the utility of aviation as
a mode of transport, are the true reasons for becoming a pilot.

Man, you just can't enjoy a light moment can you...? I'm trying to be
positive for the guy. And it was also a play on a popular commercial,
your total lack of a sense of humor is quite depressing around these
parts. It's one of those little intangibles that seperates us out from
our earth-bound breatheren. And I certainly didn't need anyone else's
reflection or validation when I pulled out my 172 and flew around the
pattern today just for hell of it.
