Many years ago, I was driving on one of those "single track" roads over in
Scotland, with a teenage (female) cousin in the pasenger seat. Suddenly,
one of the ubiquitous sheep that seem to line these roads decided to cross
right in front of me. The cousin shrieked, turned her head to the side, and
wrapped her arms around my head -- just as I was taking evasive action.

I hate to think what might have happened if this had taken place over the
threshold with a deer, fox, goose, or some other animal crossing the runway.

There are distractions, and then there are DISTRACTIONS!!! :-)

And some of them make it really difficult to breathe!

I turned on my autopilot on a trip with my wife before setting the
heading bug and scared her half to death with the instantaneous bank
and turn to wrong heading. But she got even with me the next day when
her foot slipped while changing seat position and stomped on the rudder
hard while flying straight and level :-)
