F Minus by Tony Carrillo for March 01, 2022

I was more of a jetpack kid myself.

Bigger engines and propellers.

Oh, the humanity!

The ants are my friends, they’re blowin’ in the wind.

“Honey? I’ll be late for dinner, I got blown to Florida.”

A physics defying blimp at that.

Maybe not a bad idea.

There have been a number of attempts to make use of the advantages that dirigibles have over airplanes, but wind shear remains a problem. (Just skip the Hindenburg jokes. We’re talking helium, not hydrogen.)

Stone, cold, sober, I was walking down the street when I looked up and saw a clownfish swishing its tail above me. I quickly realized it was one of those remote-controlled INDOOR toys that had gotten loose. No matter how much it wagged its tail, the onshore breeze carried it up relentlessly into the foothills until it was out of sight.

I remember predictions of flying cars. Maybe helicopters are as close as we have come so far, but I don’t think I will try to fly one….if anyone would let me.

He’s not talking posterior, because that’s more of a solution. Wait…that came out wrong.

Looks like the end of “Dr Strangelove”.

It appears this has the semi-rigid structure of a zeppelin rather than the loose one of a blimp.

Impressive indeed if that could actually hold you airborne….

Just fart for course corrections. Like retro rockets, but worse.
