Winging ItDon Spang says: I once found myself winging it in a job interview and somewhat exaggerated my technical experience in the field of mainframe computer operations. 24 years later, I'm still there. Ever had to improvise to get by? Tell us you tales of MacGyver-type genius.

I grew up by RAF ShawburyOne of the main military helicopter training centres in the UK.
They teach engine stall/autorotates, amongst other things, and truly you do get a tiny loss of sphincter control the first time you watch a happily hovering helicopter drop out of the sky like a stone and keep falling past the horizon. But the bang and the flames never come, and slowly and shakily the helipoter reappears.
Mind you, I imagine the trainee pilot shits themselves much more.
