Don't men's jackets and shirts button opposite in Europe and Asia from what we do in the U.S.?

Valid point; I think the answer is "sometimes." I lived in Europe for six years, but don't recall ever having any "backwards" shirts/jackets, but I have heard of it.

I also think the 747-carrot in the background is engine-less.....I think you should just barely able to see part of an inboard nacelle from this angle....

I have a nice 10$ watch with minutes and seconds and a stopwatch. More useful to me as a pilot than that would be.

That watch would make for a pretty good fishing line sinker.

Haven't worn a watch in 5 years. Don't miss it.

A mugger took one look at my watch and slipped me a couple of bucks.

Apparently, with every watch you also get investment advice..
