I don't have to -- they're all on the leading edges of my wings.

I found a variation on that.

I was flying the Tripacer by myself over the west Texas/NM/AZ mountains,
getting flight following. In the right seat was a box of Nature Valley
Crunchy Peanut Butter Granola bars.

Every time the radio started sounding awfully quiet, all I had to do was
unwrap one and take a big bite. I was guaranteed that ATC would call me
with a handoff within seconds.

Reminds me of someone who told me the controller kept
calling and calling her. She was using the "facilities". When
she finally did answer she said "sorry .. I was using the
little girls room". (In a very small plane). The controller
cracked up on freq.
