That's not entirely true. Some of us fear skin cancer. I've got the scars on my body to prove it.

I'd be willing to fly without pants if it would make you think I'm cool.

More clever than STRLCKPT, anyway.

I guess you don't want a plate that would identify one as a pilot AND a tool. For example:
DBLEDNG

Or maybe an ambiguous F/A / Pilot:
SLMCLKR

Or Pure Tool:
LORNZO
WOLFE

Are we allowed to roll up our sleeves if we wear long-sleeved shirts or is that technically not FOM approved. I think a rolled up sleeve conveys a professionally-sophisticated, yet approachable demeanor.

Also does the rolling up of the sleeve have any effect on the being a tool? And if so, how far up ones arm would the sleeve need to be rolled up to so as to disqualify someone as being a tool? Forearm? Elbow? Lower Bicep?

For all sleeve rolling advice, you'll have to ask a real "Man of the People" like...Mitt Romney. TOOL!

When I was flying cancelled checks, my licenses plate said, PILE-IT

One time I had just parked at the grocery store and got out, and a long tall gal walks by, looks at my tag and then bursts out laughing. Turns out she was an Eastern F/A, she asked if I was a Pilot. I told her, 'sort of, just a freight dog'. She thought it was funny as hell.

I was in a bar (not that kind) that saw an expired plate on the wall: SUKNBLO

That just makes you a skin-cancer-fearing-tool.
