Do you pretend to be cool during airline turbulence?
Usually I'm reading or something but when we hit unexpected turbulence I nonchalantly stop reading, look around, and try to pretend that I'm used to this stuff...meanwhile my heartbeat has doubled! :b

I just wimper in my seat. Then again, I wimper while we're still on the ground!
Man I hate to fly!  |

I jump and grab onto the nearest flight attendant, provided she is hot.

I try to lead the other passengers in a rousing rendition of:
We love you Beatles
Oh yes we do
We don't love anyone
As much as you
When you're not with us
We're blue
Oh Beatles,
We love you

Turbulence doesn't bother me much. I just think of the plane as a stone skipping across a pond.

Coming home from my honeymoon years ago, one of our engines flamed out (it was night and I was seated near the wing) and we had to make an emergency landing, complete with all the trucks alongside the runway, that being stated any time I fly (and that is RARELY) any bump during the flight almost sends me into a complete breakdown. 
And you believe, at heart, everyone's a killer...

Erik, just came back from Tulsa last night (don't tell anyone I went to Oklahoma on business...talk about a b-o-r-i-n-g city).

I dont "pretend" to look like anything. It is just turbulence.
