I have made balloon animals. I bought a bag of balloons for my sisters birthday once, in the mists of time.
\nI got the long skinny kind you make balloon animals with, instead of the regular kind. I had to go get more. <\/p>\n
So I thought, “how hard can it be to make balloon animals? I’ll entertain the rest of the kids at the party”<\/p>\n
I had gotten a little can of hydrogen at the Linde store and was filling the regular balloons, so I figured, why not make the animals out of that too?<\/p>\n
yes, yes, I know, it was supposed ot be helium, bear with me.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I wasn’t very good at balloon animals. Turns out I can make a dog, or a hat. And it is sometimes hard to distinguish which one I have made.<\/p>\n
“hey, mister! Can I get a dog?”
\n“Sure kid (Lots of noise) here you go!”
\n“That looks like a hat”
\n“They all look the same kid”
\n“Can I have a hat?”
\n“Sure. (More squeaking noise) here you go!”
\n‘That looks like a short legged giraffe!”
\n“it’s a sort of a hat with legs. here, let me fix it”
\nAt about that point the cigarette in my mouth dropped an ash and the balloon went up like a tarpaper shack. <\/p>\n
There was LOTS of applause.<\/p>\n
So I proceeded to make indistinguishable balloon animals, tie them to a string, and flip butts at them while they floated in midair. <\/p>\n
Those kids are still probably in therapy, but they had a good time that day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
