I've also done this and then wondered why the hell they make these things shaped like pens, with the heated part so far above the part you actually want to be hot It was the smell of burning flesh that first alerted me to my mistake, rather than the pain!

"70 years ago today an American pilot called Chuck flew a small noisy aeroplane quite fast. He is still talking about it.
For this incredible achievement, of managing to bang on about a single flight continuously for 70 years without either shutting up or pausing to get a round in, Brig.Gen. Charles Yeager is still considered an inspiration to aircrew the world over and an entry may be found in the Guinness book of records."
