Balloon man

This is a story of a man who once wished that he could jump up to the sky, and in a way he made it possible but instead of jumping Mr. Couch travelled in the clouds using nothing but balloons and his favorite garden chair, he strapped 105 helium filled balloons to his chair and strapped on 4 plastic bags full with water to act as a counter balance. The next thing for him to do was to just sit there and get ready to float away.

Mr. Couch the 47 year old from Oregon US was heading for the neighboring state of Idaho, but nearly nine hours later he came back down to earth in a farmers field a little short of his destination but 193 miles away from his home. Friends and family followed him bellow in cars as he zoomed along at 25mph, if asked is he would make another trip he said 'i am not saying i wont do it again, but its up to my wife to decide'

There's something about this story which makes me smile, how many times do we see people just floating in the sky with a number of balloons, never.... to me this story is mad but at the same time its something i would love to do myself, would you?
