"Within a cosmopolitan urban center, it takes forever to get from point a to point b. Out in the sticks, you can travel quickly, but there's nowhere to get a fucking bowl of seaweed udon."

"Yeah."

"That's why it's important to own a helicopter."

"..."

"You don't need an airstrip, or anything. You just land anywhere, a rooftop, you know? Sure, you startle a few people, whatever. By the time they come to tow your helicopter, you're done with lunch."

See, here's the problem with helicopters around stupid people. (not for the squeamish, even though it's cheesy)

Helicopters are fun: you need the reflexes of an 18 year old and the judgment of a 50 year old to drive them safely.

Airships are fun: when the wind aloft is 120 knots, your propellers can reduce your backwards motion to 50 knots!

Rocket packs are fun: all of the above, plus your oxidizer store (the limiting factor) lasts under 5 minutes.

Let's hear it for teleportation. Now where is my brain implant GPS transducer?
