My new favourite quote #3.

"I cannot sleep at all on a plane and I am terribly scared of sleeping pills. To accuse me of wasting money - no, I am sorry. Just think of the time I save." - Mobutu Sese Seko, President of Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo) 1965-97, when asked by a German journalist to justify the expense of his Concorde while the nation's economy was in crisis.

That'll be my excuse when I finally get my Concorde...
