What"re you doing with that? I found an old balloon drifting around and I estimate I got about six minutes, 42 seconds of fun out of it before it lost the last of its helium...
I actually was visited by a wandering helium balloon about a year ago… a regular thin latex one, with the name of a local vineyard on it.
Already only a few feet above the ground, it drifted onto my porch and bumped my door.
It was pretty, and purple, so I let it in….
It took several days to fall to the floor, and another month or so to be empty and shrivelled.
Â
And years before that, I got a shiny new mylar one as a gift…. I kept it to see how long it lasted.
Months and months before completely falling.
Â
So what ill wind surrounds Monty to make his balloon fail in six minutes?
