Flying Leap

Yeah right:

California company says its flying car will be a sci-fi dream come true...says it's ready to put a such a thing on the road - and up in the air - within two years.

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that over the last forty years, I'd have enough money to... well, build a flying car.

Liars.

Besides which, as I've become old(er) and cranky(er) and been forced to while away more hours of my life in traffic than I care to count, I have come to realize that even ground cars may have been a bad idea. Flying cars are a really Bad Idea.

Flying cars would mean many more spectacular crashes and give you something to look at while you wile away your time on the roadways, because based off all the looky loo's who stop at every fender bender, can you imagine the crowd at crashed flying cars, man you could sell tickets.

There is that...

On the other shriveled claw, the wreck would probably fall on me. Oh, not and actually kill me; that would be too merciful. No, it'd fall on my car, smash it to flinders, and leave me a mental cockroach in a permanently vegetative state with drool running out of the corner of my mouth... a Democrat voter, in other words.
