Ballooning Sucks ... Really, Really Sucks

Reuters had a story about a priest wanting to raise money through an ill-fated derring-do. Some fundraiser - his body recently washed onto Brazil's southeastern coast. He must not have had very sincere friends if they green-lighted this attempt. "Yeah, Father, go for it! Sounds like an AWESOME idea!"

This, coupled with last weekend's post and comic about a suicide involving balloons, has me thinking that this is the summer of party accessories gone wrong. I predict mass casualties involving kazoos sometime in August. Party City stores can never be viewed in the same way - whereas before they were thought of as convenient places to pick up all things celebration, they will now be seen as one-stop shops providing the troubled with instruments of death.
