    The sixty seconds immediately prior to a live telecast and you're the on-air talent.

    When the wife/husband is driving up the driveway and you did not expect it, and you have the one you are having an affair with there...

    After you have just given an hour presentation only to take your seat and realize that your zipper is down.

    When the transplant coordinator calls :eek: to tell you that it's your turn, :D after a 6 year wait :lol: and then says "Oh! I'm sorry! :huh: I need to double check the match." :blink: and puts you on hold. <_<

    When you brought your girlfriend over to your house for the first time, no one's home, ya'll are doing the nasty, and your parents pull up to the house, without you realizing.. At all.

    Hehe, my husband has a story I hate hearing, about the time his engine cut out at altitude and he started having to look for another place to land. Every time he was just sure he wouldn't make the airport and would bank to hit a patch of cleared land, the engine would sputter to life and he climbed like crazy until it would go out again. When he did (thankfully) make it to the runway, he realized he'd never switched on the pump to send fuel from the extra tank to the tank it pulls from.

    Hell, it's always a long white-knuckled 60 seconds when he tells the story.

    Trying to get your house key in the lock to get into the house to use the bathroom. Seems A LOT longer when you drop the keys before unlocking the door!

    The sixty seconds left to cue talent when you are the network master control operator.

    Seriously, are a large fraction of GA pilots careless idiots? Just in this one thread we've learned of two such instances. Perhaps we should institute a John Denver Memorial Flight Readiness Award.

    They do it because routine flights get so BOOOOring....

    If it doesn't kill ya,yknow,like that...


    During the last desperate shoulder rubbing 30mph lap of a bumpy urban criterium,when bikes start flipping end over end through the air above your head,and you are looking for 3 mm of clearance,and suddenly angelic intervention opens the magical passageway through the carnage of yet another instantaneous 30 bike stackup.....
