Especially on early 6am flights, don't drink tomato(e) juice (or open a fresh can) while wearing a white dress shirt. Also watch out if you have a moustache, as the juice may drip from said moustache to said dress shirt. Beware of the sleeper next to you with a drink on their tray, as they jerk awake and scatter glass & contents all over.

bers,
Next time I go to Australia I'll have to stay for more than two and a half hours. With a short stay you miss out on all sorts of valuable cultural experiences like that, though I did get a Perth T-shirt to prove I'd been there and a bar of eucalyptus-and-honey soap for the S.S. who likes yogurt on fruit. (She also likes nice soaps, though as far as I've noticed not for breakfast - on fruit or otherwise.)

"Someone Special." Not original with me - I picked it up from the post by ranles about 8 up from here to which I was originally replying. I usually use "Significant Other" (could be abbreviated S.O.) or, in my case, "the GF."

OK, here's mine:
When you are in a first class aisle seat sipping your drink while everyone else boards the plane, hold the cup in the hand away from the isle, that is, your window-side hand.
When you get bumped by the boarding pax, you won't end up wearing your drink.

Only nice people live there!

'Evening, all. I just wanted to post a quick note to ozstamps: Hey, I'm sorry I missed your question back on the 7th. Somehow I skipped right over it the next day as I continued reading the replies. Anyway, I didn't mean to ignore the post. And thanks, flyguy for answering the question.
Wouldn't want anyone to think a guy from Niceville was being rude...
