What happened to the other large breast' did she leave it outside when she
closed the door?

I don't know, Eric, but a while ago, I was flying with for the first time with a good friend (male) when he asked:
- "Why do you keep your right hand on the throttle?" as we were flying level.
I then moved my hand a few inches to the right, on his knee, and said softly:
- "Would this be better, darling?"
.. the plane then entered a violent shake. No, it wasn't turbulence, it was us, laughing out loud!
Cheers,
Michel

Thanks Michel. I will remember this for a long time.
The strange thing is; from my training days, my instructor emphasized that I keep my fingers on the throttle.
This is something I still do today, It is amazing how you adopt these habits when in the early infant training part of the program.
Next time I have a passenger sitting next to me cruising along and I look down and see my hand on the throttle, I will probably chuckle. If not then I will certainly have a big smile on my face.
And Jose.
If my passenger is female. I should have to reach over and check0to see if the passenger door is secure before flight. (wink'wink')
All the breast, sorry!! I mean best guys. Eric. Classic IV Atlanta

I agree that the throttle is a good thing to hold on
to. I intentionally mounted my prop control switch
where I could use my index finger to operate it. And
my thumb operates the landing light switch while still
holding on to the throttle too.
I had thought about putting a motorcycle grip throttle
on the flap handle and operating it like a helo
collective. Better spot landings. 
I also wrote my checklists to always be in a left to
right and then down, cockpit sweep. I tried twice to
takeoff using the sweep without the checklist. First
time it suddenly cooled off in the cockpit as the
right door slowly opened in flight. The checklist,
feeling rejected, blew out the door. The second time
I forgot to set my prop pitch on a stop and go. There
I went down the runway being chased by a landing plane
as I set power, pitch, power, pitch.... and finally
took off at cruise power. Embarrassing, all those RPM
changes!
Too old to sweep well. Got to use the checklist.
