Flip flop while riding?

I was reading Sheldon Brown's primer on FG/SS. In it he suggests that you can ride the bike FG until you get tired and then flip to SS for the ride home. I'm just curious how many people actually do that. I know it's not a big deal to flip the wheel but you still have to get the wheel off and back on while trying not to get your hands full of grease from the chain. Anyone actually do this regularly?

And to ward off the comics, I realize that you'd actually STOP first and not flip the wheel "while riding."
