thoughts over breakfast

We wondered what it would be like to fly. Nice. No doubt. Although I would miss walking. And birds can't do that. Or they can. But not very fast.

And then we wondered how it would be like to fly to work. And you would see all these bankers flying towards Geneva, creating human jams in the middle of the sky, as they flap their hands frantically so as not to lose height.

There is one thing they wouldn't be able to do anymore, and that is open their pcs on their laps on their way to work.

And what of accidents? Imagine two bankers colliding above. And freefalling to the ground below. Where would they land? How would they land?

All we have to deal with at the moment are birds' droppings, rain, snow and the odd hail storm. But imagine a banker, or two, falling out of the sky. Unannounced.
