Cup over flap lever

Old Smokey's concern is shared by many, I would suspect. While the Configuration Warning should catch things like this, it would likely result in an abort.
A few of our senior Captains, all retired long ago, had us put one of the white coffee cups over the flap handle to remind that they needed to be lowered. We did it in the sim, and we did it in the jet. Worked every time.
