Patrick phoned me. “If you were on AIM right now,” he said, “I could send you this story about how astronomers want to drop bowling balls out of airplanes onto the Bonneville salt flats.”
“Well, of course they do,” I said. “Wouldn’t anyone want to drop bowling balls out of airplanes onto the Bonneville salt flats?”
Well, duh. Who wouldn't want to.
I saw this story somewhere a couple of days ago and immediately thought of you. I forget, now, why I didn't pass it on to you. (Probably because I have no energy for anything other than house hunting right now. See www.livejournal.com/users/marykaykare/for icky details)

I'm sorry it's being icky, Mary Kay. Would it cheer you up if you got to drop bowling balls out of an airplane?
That would depend on who was standing underneath.
Incidentally, I once designed a BB gun for shooting at passing asteroids.
Now see, this is why you are so cool.
