BTDT. It was on my PPL Check Ride. I was so wired on all the stuff I had learned during training about off airport landings that I didn’t consider an airport that was just 5 miles away. Did the checklists, was babbling about wind directions and all that stuff. I chose the beach. The examiner let it go for quite awhile. Then said ok but I think I would have chosen the airport. He chuckled and said you wouldn’t believe how many do that.

during one flight lesson, my CFI said "oh, there's Plum Island..." and then pulls the throttle for simulated engine out.

I did a fine job setting up to land on a long empty parking lot next to the beach.

My instructor said that was ok, but let me show you an even better place to land and pointed out the Plum Island AIRPORT we had just overflown.

After that, everytime she pulled power, I would take a quick peek to the right rear of us...
 
I was traveling back to my hometown and, responding to Mother Nature, decided to stop at one of those rest areas on the side of the road. I went into the washroom. The first stall was taken, so I went into the second stall. I had just sat down when I heard a voice from the other stall. "Hi there, how is it going?"

I am not the type to strike up conversations with strangers while sitting on the john in restrooms on the side of the road. I didn't know what to do, but finally I said, "Not bad." Then the voice said, "So, what are you doing?" At this point, I was starting to find the situation a bit weird, but I said, "Well, I'm headed back east."

Then I heard the person, all flustered, say, "Look, I'll call you back. Every time I ask you a question, the idiot in the next stall keeps answering me!!!"

Not long after we got the cat, he wandered into the bathroom while Barb was taking a bath. Apparently the cat was unfamiliar with bathtubs, but he saw his friend sitting there and so he decided to leap over the side and into her lap. KER-SPLASH! Instantly a very surprised, wet, and mad cat was making all haste to extricate himself from the situation and Barb was the only thing he could use to claw his way out.

Afterward she looked as though she’d fallen into a box of razor blades.

Just thinking about that makes my skin hurt. Youch!
 
I love cats. Especially thinly sliced, over toast, with Hollandaise.
