I feel ashamed to admit

I have no bacon in the house. Otherwise I would make one too, though would try not to shoot it through the window.. :)

that i feel future experiments would of course be increasingly succesful, but I have been banned from all further rocketry

Rocket

is a part of modern day salad, and that has been proved good for you. Therefore, ignoring rockets is bad for your health and discriminatory. Fact.

Point out

that sometimes a man-pad up the flaptrack is enevitable. It won't help, but it is a lovely phrase to use in context.



EDIT: To de-RIS. A MANPAD is a type of Surface to Air Missile, a flap track is part of the wing of an aircraft. The two came together a few years ago when I was working for the firm that built the 'plane, and the phrase was born. It always made me giggle like a schoolgirl but I so rarely can bring it into conversation.
