Default Rituals

Thinking about upcoming flight - does anyone have any particular superstitions or rituals before or during a flight.

I wear green socks and make sure I overdose on nicotine.

I'm not scared of flying (in fact love it, especially the take-off and landing), just like socks, green and smoking.

I go into a kind of 'nothing' state of mind. I actually suspect that it's more to do with the mind-bending dullness of airports that makes me switch off. That's probably why I have such a poor recollection of going to and getting on planes. Nope, no rituals as such, perhaps I need one just to liven up the flight! Any suggestions?

Or pink socks with green aardvarks (are they related to badgers?)

My excitment is infectious

Nope, they're in the order Tubulidentata, whereas badgers are Carnivores in the Family Mustelidae!
