Balloon trick fails

By Brian Shrader

Posted: Nov. 21, 2008

What happens when a guy tries to climb into a balloon, but the air starts to leak?

This.

A warning for Puritans: You do catch a brief glimpse of the poor guy's tighty-whities as he attempts to resolve his dilemma.

A warning for all: Don't do this at home. It can be mighty dangerous.

I agree with both Allison and b.scotches. Meanwhile, who else thinks that this balloon guy would have been ripe for a "Fab Five" makeover?

I think even funnier than the content of the video, is Brian typing the words "tighty-whiteies". I don't know why. It just makes me giggle.

:o)

This is actually quite tame...my mother sent me a video this morning entitled, "How a Real Man Takes Off His Underwear." Now that's an eyeful...

Worse than the skivvies (I tried the word that Brian got, but got the warning that it was inappropriate) making an appearance was the gut hanging over them. Guess that was his few minutes of fame.
