    Geeezus. I would definitely need a few drinks when I got home at the end of the day to settle my nerves.

    A few times while driving in the winter snow, I think I've done #2 while doing #7!

    Don't forget my favorite, being the "Other guy". Every time a husband comes home early and catches wife with the "other guy" bad things usually happen.

    Well, I've seen quite a few of these guys hit the bars BEFORE getting in their crop dusters. And no, for once I am not joking, I'm very serious here.

    FAA regulations state that you must be flying inverted while spraying beneath power lines. On a serious note though, how would one go about finding the time to get a pilots license while driving a truck? I thought about getting the ground school kit from King Schools and doing it in the truck if I go back on the road, the thing that concerns me is how the hell do I put in the flight time to work up to commercial?
