I'm eagerly awaiting my initial PPL plastic certificate to come in the mail. 
While doing so, I came across a joke about how some guy was speeding and got pulled over. Cop joked and asked him for his pilots license. You know the rest.
That got me thinking. What are some instances when you had to use your pilots license? (For anything) It seems like it doesn't do much good after the initial wow factor wears off and you put it in your wallet. Unless maybe you get ramp checked or renting from a new place for the first time?
Ok, so far we have.....
Frost off the car windshield/Frost off airplane windshield when hell freezes over in Texas
Signal mirror for help.....
Discounts at Harris Ranch for dinner
Taking frost off things
Flirt with women
Bragging rights
Protecting other cert's in wallet
Discounts wth hookers
Second form of I.D.
When you have an itch
To cover a sucking chest wound...
Show it to TSA and expect privileges
Show it to cops at traffic stops and, you know, hope....
Government discounts
Gap your spark plugs with it
