There's a Mulla Nasrudin joke that's sort of relevant here:
Nasrudin is on a flight, when suddenly the pilot comes on the intercom, saying, "Passengers, we apologize, but we have experienced an engine burn-out. The plane can still fly on the remaining three engines, but we'll be delayed in our arrival by two hours."
Nasrudin speaks up "let's not worry, what's 2 hours really"
A few minutes later, the airplane shakes, and passengers see smoke coming out of another engine. Again, the intercom crackles to life.
"This is your captain speaking. Apologies, but due to a second engine burn-out, we'll be delayed by another two hours."
The passengers are agitated, but the Mulla once again tries to remains calm.
Suddenly, the third engine catches fire. Again, the pilot comes on the intercom and says, "I know you're all scared, but this is a very advanced aircraft, and it can safely fly on only a single engine. But we will be delayed by yet another two hours."
At this, Nasrudin shouts, "This is ridiculous! If one more engine goes, we'll be stuck up here all day"
