Haha but you can for 6! Once on a flight across the Pacific we had mod turbulence with seatbelt sign on and flight attendants grounded for almost 6 hours straight. Mind you, at night on a United it was a looong 6 hrs.
By the way, at one point we hit severe turbulence and did drop a lot too (as explained by the captain later) but everybody was buckled up so no dramas except for general panic attacks. As much as I knew it's no big deal, it does feel scary, even for someone who spends on the 747s more time than on a bicycle..
