The only time a pilot has too much fuel is when his aircraft is on fire.

Old Air Force addage...

I still like the story about a test pilot who was bringing in his crippled aircraft.

They called the base fire trucks to be ready for an emergency landing.

The test pilot landed belly up, skidding and smoking along the runway. The pilot was able to extract himself from the burning aircraft.

The fire trucks roar up to the scene, and the fire chief runs over to the test pilot and asks, "What happened?"

The pilot smiles and looks at him and says, "I don't Know... I just got here myself!"
