chopper lowers a rescue basket, hop in, get to the destination after they hoist you up. Then you pay a hefty fee but who cares, it was a kickass ride. Beats a limo.

Just made this idea because i hate traffic.

Kinda hard to stick a leg... er... thumb out to hail one, though, and cell phone use in the cockpit is very tricky to do legally. So, everybody carries a transponder with them? But really - THAT'S how i want to pick up my prom date!

tell me about it.

I'd totally pay for it. Of course I'd have to save for a few months.

I can imagine using this right after coming out a football/baseball stadium. Thousands of people would be talking about me for days! Well at least until the novelty wore off.

Sounds like something that happens in the movies - you dial for the helicopter to pick you up anytime, anyplace...

/I'd totally pay for it/

Indeed. This is what we call a "transaction".

/Thousands of people would be talking about me for days/

They would just assume that you had had a heart attack. Although I guess a big smile and double thumbs up on your part might allay their concerns.
