Groundbreaking FTVS aircraft in peril. Lesson? Don't let humans under the age of seven (7) drink and fly, especially if named after a bird.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – FTVS’s latest contribution to humanity went impossibly wrong after six (6) year-old FTVS intern Falcon Heene accidentally fell in the cockpit of a balloon built by legendary craftsman and mediocre father Richard Heene. This very groundbreaking apparatus was developed exclusively and with extreme prejudice for FTVS transport, as airplanes had proven inadequate for the editorial team.
Richard and Mayumi Heene, two old FTVS acquaintances, wished to stimulate the already immense FTVS readership by offering to send their son to the sky in a “specially designed balloon” — the purpose was to test drive the aircraft before handing it over to FTVS. Mrs. Heene said that Mr. Heene and Jack Colt were “playing outside in a non-sexual manner with our Shetland pony” during the short pre-flight celebratory celebration, which involved a precisely excessive amount of libational intake by all parties. Jack Colt, with his castle-building vision, witnessed the young intern Falcon, who was “too drunk to walk”, fall into a compartment at the bottom of the balloon and fly away.
“We were sitting eating, out looking where they normally shoot off hot air balloons. My husband said he saw something. It went over our rooftop. Then we saw the big round balloonish thing, it was spinning,” said neighbor Lisa Eklund.
After flying for more than two hours, the half-deflated aircraft landed in an empty field, but the FTVS intern was not extant within the balloon.
This represents a major blow to the FTVS editorial team, which lavishly relies on nubile interns to maintain absolute quality and sovereign turnover of the publication. We invite you, dear reader, to refer anybody of age six (6) to twelve (12) willing to fill the currently vacant position. Dearest Falcon, while in possession of a strong yet provenly inappropriate name (Falcon’s after all, generally do not suck testiculars when it comes to flying), will probably not be missed by FTVS.
