I didn't like stalls in my primary training. With the Cessna, you get the nose
a bit down, put the throttle in, get the carb heat off, and bring the flaps up.
I would slam the throttle forward with the palm of my hand, while getting the
carb heat off with my thumb. My instructor said it wasn't necessary to move that
fast.

After the third practice run for the day, she told me that she had recently had
a candidate who had been criticized by the examiner for not getting the plane
cleaned up rapidly enough. She said "When I send you over, I'm going to call him
up and say 'Have I got a candidate for you!'".

Some people think they hear a call to the priesthood when what they really
hear is a tiny voice whispering "It's indoor work with no heavy lifting".
