Try this test to see if you should really be a helicopter pilot:

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make
clockwise circles with it.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right
hand.

If your foot remains going clockwise you'll be fine.

If your foot stops going clockwise you should choose a different career.


Have Fun,

Bart

This is an obvious case of LTE (loss of tail motor cotrol effectiveness).
Since youre in ground effect in the chair the thing you should do is chop
the power (stop drinking coffee) and perform a covering auto. This is
performed by placing both arms over your head until your safely on th ground
and the spinning has stopped.

Gawd Kevin you are a natural helo pilot. My left hand drew 88 and some very
large Os just before the chair tipped over backwards and my right foot
kicked a large knot on the inside of my left leg. The cat that was setting
on my lap left numerous 2 inch deep gouges in my stomach trying to find
sufficient traction to get out of my apparent attempt to hover without the
helicopter.
That said and being from California, who is responsible for all of my
injuries? Can I sue B4RT? How about Gore? He is responsible for the
Internet. Also now the cat won't come near me.
