Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 28, 2012

Gladys knows that he’ll never make it back lunch time. Perhaps she’ll see him at dinner, she never knows. Once he was gone for three days. he came home mumbling something about engine trouble…

Wave and smile…

That’s the Fixed Wing Rotor Top Personal Lifting System better know as the Whirligig Flying Thing (WFT). It is totally new design replacing the Will That Fly? (WTF) device that Inspector Monkey Blues, an independent consultant, in the conclusion of his report stated "No, it won’t .

Chet, as our chief test pilot (Heavy Lifting Div.) is fully insured. Coverage includes accidental death benefits, including on-site cremation. Benefit administration is handled by Larry Landers in our legal dept.

Looking forward to an uplifting experience.

While testing is ongoing, the results so far are encouraging. There is some concerns about wing icing, not to mention freezing your a$$ off.Now if we can just get Chet to stop referring to the WFT as a Goa’uld Death Glider.

(from the sidelines: all the comments were especially entertaining and informative today. And, thanks for clarifying what the heck the test vehicle is, because to the untrained eye, it looked like a gas-powered skateboard. I guess that’s why I did not get hired at ASPM&T&TOF . Kudos to everyone involved.)

My best guess, Chet is going to be a little late for lunch. Gwen has forgotten her makeup. Rusty Boy is missing. The sign on the horizon is not good. Woe is Wednesday. Singing “Happy Trails” will help.

if it don’t fly, he might be able to use it as a hair trimmer…or a cuisinart.

Chet, you Dervish.

I love you guys.

A lot of kittens popped up around your neighborhood some months later, I’d guess.

Re: “my own WTF”We never put the WTF into production due to fact that it never got off the ground. We sold the junk prototype to Lefty’s Redneck Yard Furnishings & Scrap Yard.

I’ve GOT to see how that thing works! There are so many things that could go wrong, it will be like watching a train wreck.

I think he means “back in the ER” before lunch.

Also, and not for nothing, but she has no eyes. Blind is one thing. Eyeless is a whole other thing.
