Planes
I suffer from massive anxiety, which unfortunatly can give me 'make belive' pain. I was going on holiday with my then bf. I'd never been on a plane befor, and whilst i wasnt scared as such i was stupidly anxious to the point my doctor had thought i had kidney failure.

To help ease my pain my bf told me all about how planes fly. Being a total geek and loving fantasy and dungeons and dragon etc he hit upon a great explanation....On each plane, look out for a wizard. he superglues his ass to the chair and uses a flying spell to make the plane move. There are no engins... just a levitating wizard with a plane stuck to his bum...

I was 21 at the time. And even though i knew it to be total make belive... i still asked him were the wizard was, and still look out for the little guy anytime i fly.

I guess im not gullible by mistake.... i choose to be gullible about some things when the lie is so much more comforting than the truth.

I am a firm believer
that the only thing that keeps a plane up is my concentration and a firm grip of the chair arms. Also, I've had a few "heart attacks" which turned out to be panic attacks, the first ending in me going to casualty. Bah.

there are no wizards.
planes take off due to persuasion, but what keeps them up and flying straight is a carefully-trained balancing clown on each wing.
