I don't remember who told me this story, or if it is even true (soaring pilots, don't you know), but be sure to retract the pee tube prior to landing. The tale I was told involved a tube so long that the main wheel ran over it on touchdown and gave the pilot an uncomfortable sensation as it forcibly removed the external catheter. And probably several years of life expectancy due to the surprise.
