You ain't no super hero slick, do not dive headfirst onto bricks! (Only five feet right straight down, head wounds bleed like hell I've found, for one brief second I could fly, well worth the scar above my eye.) Hands greased with frosting from a cake do not a trapeze artist make! (For fourteen feet I was aloft, the impact, anything but soft, to swing like Tarzan through the trees, one broken humerous if you please!) You should unplug an amplifier prior to messing with its' wires! (Eight feet through the air I flew in an arc when that thing blew, a flash, a pop, then coming to, in retrospect not smart to do.) Though you may have the right of way the larger object rules the day! (Marked twenty-eight feet from me to shoes, and six weeks to recover too! Where she came from I have no clue, back then we didn't know how to sue!) Mix alcohol and snowmobiles to make for one painful ordeal! (My one attempt at backward flight, not much distance or much height, a third of a kneecap is better than none, up to that point it was fun.) All wheelie riding on a bike should be saved for younger tykes! (A three foot distance from the ground will cause you to make "Owwie" sounds, concrete sidewalks, softer grass, no doubt where I set my a**) To demonstrate your first slam dunk don't wait until you're quite that drunk! (A shoulder plant from eight feet up's not good for your rotator cup, NBA star? No way, I ain't, and broken bones can make you faint.) And so my history of flight became the subject of this write. Up to this point there, younger guy, I have no doubt that we can fly. |

CPat, Thanks, I'm glad you got a chuckle, I guess the trick is to live through it all so you can laugh about it later. Doc |

Alison, lol actually my flying skills are pretty good, it's the landings that need a little work. Doc Toe, nope, I remember that Hendrix song pretty well ( among other things, but I'd rather not go into detail. ) Suffice it to say the world was a very interesting place in the late sixties/early seventies. Doc Bel1e, Glad you liked. Doc |
