That Plane Has to Land Sometime

The unaffordable expenses that occur after one arrives at a destination.
A wedding is being planned and the high a maintenance bride who is a stewardess and is reasoning with everyone that she wants the wedding to be in Hawaii. She explains that she can get very low cost flight tickets for everyone. Many in the two families want to go but are not that well off. Someone says "yes, but that plane has to land sometime." That means that the low cost flight tickets are appreciated but the huge expenses start once the plane has landed like taxi cabs or limos, motel rooms in Hawaii, tipping skycaps, cabs, luggage handlers, buying drinks at a renowned resort where prices are inflated, thus the idea of low cost flight tickets is irrelevant.

"That Plane" is a bit of a take on "those plans."

Oh? Am I not saving you fast enough? Maybe I'll get around to it in, like, 5 years or so...
Hym "Me? Oh, nobody. Just a meta/hypertext writing genius who has been made into a literal archetypal figure (the intimations of which range from stioc, monomaniacal hero to narcissistic superman). I may or may not have convinced the world's most famous atheist that the creature is real and I made the world's most famous clinician into several anime characters in his peripheral association to me. If you're trying to punish me for this then I'm at least Plato-adjacent (the poison is just a slower acting one). I would say that it's working pretty well, I mean, nobody's gotten raped or murdered by me yet. So that's pretty good... And why don't I do something about it?... You want me to fix the inherent corruption of man?.... Because... it's not the church that is the problem. It's the constrained malevolence that resides in the hearts of all men... And I can't even get you flesh-sacks to give me the credit that I'm due. Let alone get them to stop being evil filth-monkey abominations." 🤷
