Falling Off My Chair Laughing.. Until...

I was having lunch with a couple of my work colleagues today and Billy made some random comment about a Priest that go carried away by helium balloons and lost at sea.

S and I were giggling in disbelief, our imaginations ran wild and before you know it the Priest was in his full papal outfit, a strong gust of wind taking a Priest by surprise off into the horizon and, of course red balloons.

Of course we discussed the colour of balloons, the theory behind when one would actually 'let go' of the balloons - maybe when one starts floating.

These scenarios got more absurd and crazy as the minute went by.

S and I were laughing so much in our little lunch area we were almost falling off our chairs, we were in fact folded over in laughter. There was no way this was true. If so, how did we miss this.

2 minutes after getting back to my desk 'Brazilian priest lost at sea' floated into my inbox.

"Dear lord" I believe is the appropriate expression...

That is hilarious and spooky all at the same time!

Yep...it was on the news a few weeks ago. He was doing it to raise money but it all went horribly wrong and the poor fool was lost at sea :(

Ant, I was laughing so much until I found out it was real and the poor guy is more than likely dead.

Scorps, I just don't know how I missed it!?!

GBoy, I'm glad I'm not the only one that missed it.
