John McVie (of Fleetwood Mac) ordered a giant inflatable penguin to fly over one of their venues once. There ended up problems, and it crashed (harmlessly) to the ground. When telling his father about the incident, his father sagely responded, “Well of course; penguins don’t fly.”
One of my favorite sayings: RFC 1925“With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to know where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. "
