Seriously, they just can't catch a break. Can they?

Planes don't have breaks, silly. They fly. What are they going to do with breaks?

Planes have brakes* so they, for example, don't bump the plane in front of them when moving through the line to take off.

I know this was a joke but it kinda feels flat

What are they going to do with breaks?

The are kind of important for stopping the plane after landing.
