To: PhoenixIM@aol.com, balloon@fooledya.com


   So, I can tell this to the parent of the person who
lost a child of 21  by inhaling the helium direct from
the tank at McDonalds in Newburyport Massachusett
almost two years ago.
 Sorry to get heavy on this subject but every time I
see a person who says .Hey, can I have a hit off that
tank or helium balloon,I say sure if you want to push
your vocal box into your lungs and die go ahead
because the 2000 pounds of pressure is I real high
when you can't breath.The para medics I talk to said
they had no chance of saving him.
   Oh ,yes this is a balloon not a helium tank, not a
gun, So the dangers are less.Why are there more round
balloons the cause of choking because the kid sucks in
a piece of balloon.He describeed it as having the
bends
like a diver gets.(I'm not a diver).
 We tell the kids not to put a balloon in there mouth
but go ahead suck the helium out of it.Maybe it's a
good idea.Why not NY trice oxcide and they can laugh
through much-kin land,Sorry just choking I mean
joking.
 I think if, people really think on your own you come
up with a better way to laugh at a commercial.
   By the way the one of the kids that I talked to
that wanted a hit of helium said the nytrice was 10.00
a hit at the last rave he went too.That would be great
advertise ment for fed ex and the prohibited selling
of nytrice don't you think.
  Where was the intelligence of the the fed ex people
and the commercial advertisers on this commercial,
they should have had the fed ex truck drive by and
shoot up one of the ups trucks and have the truck
driver of the fed ex say' Sorry i didn't meant to go
postal on you' Jim Carry could have been the driver.
    Oh yes about the Mcdonalds incedent it started out
with the kids sucking the helium from the balloons,
 at a birthday party at Mcdonalds and then one of the
workers decide to suck it directly from the tank to
get a larger laugh,I think it would make a great
Mcdonalds commercial don't you except it doesn't have
a punch line.No laughs just drama,a different
perspective on a commercial don't you think.It would
be based on a true story.Oh yah they could of added
the munckins in the commercial,they would havre had
the jump on fed ex.
      not laughing
    Hatts the Clown
