On Running Out of Gas

My best friend, Dave, told me that mandatory flying lessons for me will be starting up after the first of the year. I am looking forward to it in the extreme.

He assured me that my first lesson will be to learn where the gas gauge is, to check it, and to make sure the tanks are full of the right kind of fuel. Being the ever-reliable friend that he is, I had called him for help on several occasions when I ran out of gas.

Since he will be my flight instructor and he knows my history with gas and ground transportation, I should be okay.

Now, about using the cell phone ...

Flying lessons - that is brilliant. Please check the fuel gauge at all times. Please keep the cell phone switched off. Please listen to your intructor at all times. Please don't fly low over any court buildings. Please don't drop water bombs anywhere. And.... Happy landings!!

Can Derp eat Billy's cell phone before this adventure?

Gasoline - cell phones - high altitudes...I'm a little nervous to say the least.
