I was returning from Philadelphia to Rochester NY after a rare business trip (hence wearing a suit) when the plane unexpectedly hit some bad turbulence – bad enough that for safety reasons we diverted to a closer airport (Syracuse) and finished our trip by bus. Drink service had just passed our aisle and I was holding a scotch on the rocks, but by executing a kind of sideways figure-8 move did not spill a drop.
Unfortunately the dork sitting to my right reacted to the turbulence by moving his bloody Mary away from his lap to his left – so I got the wet trousers. :-(
