The phrase "I think thats about good for today" at the end of a ground session with a student (or something equivalent) really means "I can't take any more of this, leave or I'll strangle you."

...you have nightmares about armies of E6Bs, rolling menacingly towards you, their devilish wind-correction wheels powered by continuous failed attempts of students to suss out their ground speed.

Bahahahahaha

I think this is only funny because I just got done with a 7.8 dual given day.
 
...when you fly airplanes so small, questions like "Is that your cellphone vibrating in your pocket?" are in no way scandalous.

I'll see your ringing cellphone and raise you:

...when--despite your best attempts not to--you can tell what type of underwear your student is wearing by the tactile sensation against your thigh.

That would only get REALLY awkward if it was a female student...
 
I flew with a rather attractive female student in a 152 a while ago. She wore a skirt when it was warm one day, had a hard time with that one...(no pun intended). Needless to say I told her a skirt was probably not the best choice of clothing when flying.

At least the female students typically smell better than the guys.

Shame on you

That they do, thankfully.

Shame on you

Haha, hey, I was at work...had to try that whole "professional" thing they keep talking about.

When you have to lube the controls before each flight in a particular airplane so they don't stick.

You make yourself unavailable when you feel a demo/checkout flight coming on with someone who may...or may not be fluent in english...

Stimpy you IDIOT!!!

Do you realize what you've done, telling a girl to not wear a skirt is like slapping God in the face for providing you with a wonderful gift that day.

With that said, yeah, pants/shorts, T-shirt(no tank tops!), and finally SHOES!!! I don't know how may students show up with flip-flops on and I will cancel the flight and do ground.
 
LMAO, perhaps but it was easy to see her embarrassment concerning the whole situation, and with the Chief CFI around when you get back, again, that whole professional thing cropped up. Like I said...I wasn't complaining!

I don't know how many times I've had to tell people that flip-flops are not appropriate for flying and how many times they still show up wearing them. I had one kid who had WHITE shoes and didn't want to get them dirty so he thought he would try and take them off in flight. Geeeenious.
