Lots of wild stuff going on in the world these days. Been that way for a while, I suppose. I know there are lots of different viewpoints, and that many feel very strongly about their own. I’ve certainly been thinking, and decided I’d like to know where you stand on this one very serious question:
Would you eat worms if it gave you the power to fly around like a superhero? I mean, birds do it, but I’m not even suggesting you’d have to flap you arms like wings. If eating night crawlers somehow meant you could just point ahead and push off with your feet, and you could take off and soar through the clouds, with precision steering and braking, at 100-ish mph, and land safely on your feet every time, would you do it? And if so, how many worms would you be willing to eat? 2-3? A small handful? A large bowl?
I think I would eat a handful of live worms every morning if it allowed me to fly like that all day and all night. At some point, I gotta draw the line on the grubby gourmet, but maybe I’d get used to it after a while. It’s tough to imagine waking up too many days and saying “Ya know, worms are gross. I don’t even care that I could fly. I’ll eat graham crackers and take the bus”.
Would it matter if everyone could do the same thing? Would it then lose its luster? For the sake of this proposal, let’s just say you’d be the only one, and that no one would try to stop you. Or, would that just make it more exciting? “Catch me if you can, you poor, gravity-sensitive schmucks! (not you, Mom).”
Anyway, birds are cool, and they make it look easy. Fish eat worms, and most of them can’t even fly. I’m in. You?
