Once, on a 12-hour flight, I was challenged by a (very manly) man who insisted that he could give me a better French Manicure than what I had just done myself, and it would quite possibly be one of the best I'd seen (he had never done one before!).
What I didn't know was that he built model airplanes for a living, and attention to detail was the order of the day. Needless to say, I lost the bet, and had to spend the rest of the flight helping him to translate documents.
