Strawberry Jam

Must be something in the water in Tasmania. First Bob Brown now this prime idiot

IMAGINE being strapped inside a huge plastic ball and being pushed out of an aircraft. Tasmanian eccentric Steven Whitmore has given the idea a lot of thought. “It’d hit the ground and you’d just bounce away until you stopped,” Mr Whitmore said.

…bounce away until you stopped! You wouldn’t be stopping. The only thing that would eventually stop would be the ball and some rasberry jam like substance at the bottom of the ball that used to be you.

Another invention he dreamt-up is a huge capsule made of bullet-proof glass. The thrill-seeker is strapped inside and the capsule is dropped into the ocean, head first. “Imagine the feeling,” Mr Whitmore said.

There is no feeling in Strawberry jam and why the ‘bullet proof’ glass. It would only mean the strawberry jam wouldn’t be diluted with sea water. As I recall the laws of physics, once a falling body reaches terminal velocity the fall is terminal. Mind you, I’d be prepared to reprove the old theories. I mean they are old after all and I’m regularly told old is wrong. If I could get this idiot and Bob Brown in a rubber ball and push them out of a Hercules at 1000 feet I feel I would be contributing to science and society. Strawberry jam comes from the old paratroopers ditty from my youth that went…. They scraped him off the tarmac like a lump of strawberry jam And he ain’t going to jump no more. I’m not making this up although I can’t vouch for the integrity of the author…journalist after all? More here>>
