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?

I was also wondering why the balloon lost it’s helium so quickly.

Balloons filled with hydrogen would be much more fun. Especially for people who smoke.

You’re sick, Monty! Talk about chintzy! Buy your own, fresh, balloon!
