You should have seen the looks I got when I hopped out of the
Centurion in New York and made a mad dash for the terminal amongst all
the ice and snow. I was a frozen poopsicle by the time I got inside.

"Hi! I'm from South Carolina!"

If you could do the accent, you could have said something about it
feeling like a warm day back home in Siberia.

Man, you have a lot to learn!

You have to get out, saunter in like you have all of the time in the world,
and are in no hurry to get anywhere. You have to be as tough as nails, too;
don't even show a goosebump.

You then say in you best drawn out, slow Southern drawl,

"Haay, all y'all. (plural for y'all) Aye'm fraom Sooauth Car-rali'nah."

You got that?

When I was taking my Southern born fiancé up to Ohio to meet all of my
friends (yes, I am a Yankee) for the first time, when we crossed into Ohio,
we were preparing to meet them, and just before we got out of the car, I
said, (I had been planning this for some time)

"Honey, these people are my really good friends, so try not to say too much,
so they don't laugh at you too much." g

She said, "You know I'm going to have to lay it on REALLY thick now,
right?" I grinned, and said, "OK, but try not to embarrass yourself TOO
much, right?"

She STILL married me! :-)

Heard about the seaplane that landed in Louisiana, beached
on the shore and the pilot got out and waded ashore. The
locals knew he was a northerner because the locals know
about snakes, alligators and smaller nasty stuff in the
water.

Glad you made it to an airport and not a forced landing
somewhere enroute. Some survival gear is always a good idea
and a Zippo even if you don't smoke.

Are you kidding? Those cigarettes can kill you!

You don't need the cigarettes, just a reliable source of
fire and a good knife. Gerber makes some nice small
hatchets for cutting a shelter out of the trees. You may
want to fly in your loafers and polo shirt, but at least
carry some clothes that will keep you and your passengers
frostbite free for a few days until they find you.

I'll stick with my Zippo. If you need fire while in the
wild and the aircraft is still somewhat intact, fuel, oil
and upholstery burn and you can use a spark from the battery
to get it started, but away from the wreckage, please.

Did you see the note "Not available for sale to the general public"?

I carry waterproof matches in my kit, but if I were to go the cigarette lighter
route, I would carry the old fashioned fluid type as well as a butane model. The
old Zippos will burn avgas just fine. The butane lighters may leak and run empty
after several years of storage.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.

One of the survivor shows on TV demonstrated that
if you can get some very light tinder (cotton from
your socks?), you can start a fire with the sparks
from a lighter that isn't otherwise working.
