My mother was a professional hot air balloon pilot, and I was her ground crew chief. We had a bunch of regular crew members, and I was shocked by one guy who confessed that he had fallen in love with our hot air balloon. He asked permission to spend a day in our garage, and explicitly told us he wanted to unpack the envelope (the balloon part) and fuck it. He also said he had been having dreams of fucking the suede and padding that lined the top of the rattan gondola.
He was never called to crew again.
I was sure the undertaker would throw mankind somewhere in your last sentence.
Seriously, it reads as a setup for a contrived joke. So it's likely true.
Sounds like he had 99 problems and a luftballoon was one.

wish I could updoot twice.
I really liked how this started, but not how it progressed.
Well, it was a fun childhood. Plenty of other stories.
I'm glad.
