Bloody good question!!! Others have asked me that too!

Umm, his mate was a mate of mine who kept bugging me to go for a fly
with him because I apparently would really enjoy the experience!!! In
an effort to get them to shut the hell up I agreed to go with him for
a flight. Never again!!!

And his did his big skid in front of three of our club's instructors,
who all were seriously unimpressed!

Gee, I wish I could clain to have never made a vaguely similar mistake.

Of course, I never made *exactly* the same mistake again...

P.S.: On a much lighter note, an old friend swears up and down that you can
prevent a recently dropped soda can from fizzing over by inverting it and
rapping it once, sharply on a firm surface--such as the floor or a table.
From time to time, he asks if I've tried it; and I claim that didn't drop a
soda for a while and then forgot. This ritual has continued for years.
