I'm trying to convince my wife that we don't really need a house.

Many years (decades) ago Raouf Ismail called me to tell
of an amazing new glider on the SH drawing boards.
"You need a good glider now and this will be the best".
Had a funny name "Ventus".
"Raouf, I've managed to save some money and was thinking
about buying a house".
"Dave, you can't fly a house".
So, I bought the Ventus.

Which led to, a few years later, an infamous
advert in Soaring:
"Three gliders, no house, angry fiancee,
must sell one of..."
And I got ZERO calls excepting from said fiancee's
father, who said I'd almost caused him to fall off
the toilet...

Its all about priorities guys ;-)

See ya, Dave "YO electric"
