You were taught to mess with non-essential stuff on the runway? I once flew
with an VFR pilot - he wanted to see what IMC was like - it was a great
flight (lots of IMC) and he did amazingly well in the clouds - I was
impressed. I let him land - right after we touched down, his hands were
moving around the panel so fast I finally just slapped his hands hands and
said "Stop! Do that when we're stopped on a taxiway."
