I try to sit in the FRONT of an airplane for the same reason. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The lip balm is probably vasoline or wax, both of which could be used. Maybe a spark could be made with a rock if it's a metal nail file! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Shirley did switch from funny cars to top fuel dragsters after a fire, but it was Don Garlits who invented the rear engined top fueler after he had an engine blow up in front of him. He decided that having the wind blow the fire away from him instead of into his face was good idea. He was also one of several top drivers of the time to back Shirley's qualification for top fuel driver. Check out her bio page: http://www.muldowney.com/bio1.html

I didn't know they had a passenger seat in a commercial airplanes nose cone with the radar! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

They don't. That's why I'm always wearing my helmet <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Vince, if you really want to get in front, ask if they could make you a hood ornament for a reduced rate. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I don't think they want my mug decorating the front of their beautiful aircraft! <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

AND NOW THE FIRST REAL USE FOR NAIL POLISH:

I dont know how bad it's in the US but over here speed camera's are becoming more than a pain in the bud. What drivers have discovered that transparent nail varnish/poilish reflects camera flashes very well when added to the rear number plate...use appropriately

...and any modification on license plates is a crime.

...but hard to detect until it's too late.
