During a committee meeting at our college we were discussing how best to teach technology since it changed so fast. I made the statement that when teaching technology, most teachers were "flying by the seat of their pants." A few days later in a faculty retreat, a teacher from our committee told the members of the retreat that she liked my description of how we were trying to teach technology. She is, however, from eastern Europe and still struggles with American idioms. As she gave me credit for the quote, she said, "Most teachers are teaching by the fly of their pants!"

I was on a Reno Air flight from San Jose to Las Vegas and the plane was taxiing to take off. The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "For those of you currently reading our in- flight magazine, please place it back in the seat pocket in front of you, as it is for IN-FLIGHT only." Later on, once we were airborne, he came back and said, "If you're sitting on the right side of the plane, look out the window and you will see big, white, fluffy clouds. If you're on the left side of the plane, you'll see ... big, white, fluffy clouds. Directly beneath you is...your luggage." Once we landed, he told us to remain seated with our seatbelts fastened until we were fully stopped at the gate. Just as we were about to reach the gate, he said, "Don't even think about it!" He also said, "We have a man onboard who is celebrating his 100th birthday and this is his first flight! It is also probably his last flight." ('Boo's' from the passengers.) "So please, when you walk by the cockpit , wish the pilot a happy birthday."
