Sigh… You’re right, of course. I just get so annoyed at the heedlessly optimistic attitude that a flying unicorn would be just as easy to handle as an ordinary flying horse.

I am intrigued by your proposal to minimize the inherent difficulties of flying unicorns by turning them into leering sex maniacs. There may well be a lucrative market for such a plan even if the flying angle doesn’t ultimately pan out.
