Geeze, what a bunch of sissies. In my day we had to operate the throttles with
one hand, hold the thermos with the other and sing to ourselves. Now, if you
want to ask how we operated the stick with both hands full just remember only
real men flew single seaters back then.

I can just image waterskiing out the back... You'd have to tread water
for a while, waiting for it to circle round if you fell off...

Of course it could.

The trick is to do it so they are both re-usable afterwards :)
