Never fall through a roof. People's chambers are seldom fit to receive company without advance notice of their coming… – Dining salon aboard a Graf Zeppelin LZ127

With the advent of flying machines we note that several of our dearest friends are much disturbed by a lack of knowledge of the little proprieties that govern that fine sport. For those persons we offer the following few suggestions which will be added to as the code is completed:

I-If you drop your lady be sure of your bearings. No gentleman will drop a lady into Pittsburg.

II-Remember that the motto of the Epworth League is “Look up” and DON'T SPIT. Epworth Leaguers are, as a rule, very finicky people.

III-In falling, if you should pass an acquaintance aeroplaning with a strange lady it is good form to raise your hat.

IV-Never fall through a roof. People's chambers are seldom fit to receive company without advance notice of their coming.

V-Keep to the right. — Sausalito News, 1910
