-You can tell the exact type of aircraft fying overhead of the field by the sound it makes

-You have had a, "Linecrew Shower" under the garden hose right on the ramp

-You have been whistled over to an aircraft or called, "boy"

-You are sterile due to prolonged exposure to Prist

-You know every pilot's schedule off by heart because you are sleeping with their wives/girlfriends

-You are looking for the hangar rash gremlins, because there is no way that you broke that wing tip off

-You've ever flown as ballast on maintenance test flights

-You can't smell the JetA on you anymore, but everone else can

-You have sent countless newbies on runs for propwash and flight line because you at one time had to do it

-You have varsolled a belly and fell asleep on the creeper

-You can tell what kind of bugs that are on the windscreens from their smell and splatter patterns (bees smell like flowers)

OK guys...add your own!

-You have a 172 Scar on your forehead

-Your car runs on 100LL SLOP

-People ask if you are a pilot and you say, "I'm a Captain on a 747 for Air Canada...you're pretty cute. I'm in town for a couple of days and I'm kinda lonely..."

-You know the following numbers: 3.7854, 18925, 6.7

-You can outdrink all pilots but you let them have their moments of glory because Ego+Thrust+Lift=FLIGHT!

"Linecrew Shower" - sounds like a wet t-shirt contest to me. And I think those whistles are the guys trying to pick you up.

Haza - ask a newbie to get you a left handed wrench next time

Linecrew shower is that flammable drizzle that comes off the wing of your aircraft as a slack jawed fueler zones out while thinking about which box of lean cuisine will call to him when he gets home that night.

"Owwwwwwwp Noodle Caboodle sounds good", next thing I know I'm getting charged for 110 gallons going into a 100 gallon tank.

The preceeding statement was for satirical purposes only, the author loves rampies and anyone with evidence to the contrary can lick his wrinkled meat balloon

Ramprat=dockrat?

you've taken a stroll off the wrong side of the float
(

who moved the dock to the other side)

you've gotten avgas in your ear while checking the belly drains

you've fallen off the wing of the otter into november temperature water while sweeping the frost off the wings

your forearms look like Arnolds from pumping floats for two hours every morning (least I think thats why!)

you have a permanent diagonal imprint in your forehead from running into the strut on the beaver at least three times a day

you've had to dive into the water to make a pilots docking attempt less expensive

you can hook and tie a floatplane going by at 5 mph without getting rope burn

ahhh the good old days
