Flying into Las Vegas from Salt Lake City one time, there was an extremely heavy cross-wind and we came into land at what felt like virtually sideways. It goes without saying that the Pucker Value was quite high.

Upon breaking there was a pregnant pause; then my colleague and I hear very loudly from the back of the plane, in a distinct accent.

"GIVE ME A HELL YEAH"!

And a reply from a dozen folks

"HELL YEAH"!

Then I hear my colleague say under his breath "F**kin Texans"

And that folks was the first time I meet a Texan.
