Long time ago, there was a story about a kid who was flying a Super Cub. He was wearing a Superman t-shirt. So he comes into land, there's a decent crosswind, and the kid damn near ground-loops it. Lots of swerving, tires squealing, etc.
The kid was shaking by the time it was over. He taxied up to the FBO's building and shut down. He got out of the airplane, and, as he walked to the building, one of the ramp rats dryly said: "Nice landing, Superman."
I remember a year or so ago, a local news story about a guy who plowed his car across a lawn and into a house (thank goodness no one was hurt). The driver was cited for speeding.
The photo of the car sticking out of the house revealed a bumper sticker that said "I like to go FAST."

Ya think? (/Leroy Jethro Gibbs voice)
A real "Pride goeth before destruction" moment!
