LAWNCHAIR LARRY

Larry Walters of Los Angeles is one of the few to contend for the Darwin Awards and live to tell the tale. When Larry was a young boy his dream was to fly. He never got the chance to fly though due to poor eyesight. That wasn't going to keep Larry from flying. Larry then decides to get an "extremely comfortable" Sears lawnchair and perchase 45 weather balloons from an Army-Navy surplus store. He tied the balloons to his lawnchair filled with helium. Then he strapped himself into his lawnchair with some sandwiches, Miller Lite, and a pellet gun. He thought that he would shoot the balloons when it was time for him to desend. Larry's plan was that he would stay in his backyard 30 feet above the ground. Things didn't work the way Larry planned. When his friends cut the cord anchoring the lawnchair to his Jeep, he didn't float up 30 feet. Instead he made it to 16,000 feet in the L.A. sky. After reaching this height he didn't feel like he should shoot any balloons. He just stayed there for more than 14 hours eating and drinking beer. Eventually he reached Trans World Airlines and Delta Airlines. This is when he decides to shoot some of the balloons. Larry ends up getting caught in powerlines. Blacking out a Long Beach neighborhood. Then he is arrested.

People say not to drink when you are on the road. Why would drinking while in the air seem any smarter? People are stupid! That's all I have to say about that.
