Think past the immediate
Have you seen that great commercial where this guy in Europe (Italy?) has made wings and is standing on the bridge over a river, ready to see if he can fly? The whole town is coming out to watch (the priest on his bike), and he's ready to go. [Very dramatic violin in the background.]
He finally takes the plunge, and swoops down, and.... HE FLIES!!! It's great. The crowd goes nuts: "He can fly! He can fly!" And then some old curmudgeon has to state the obvious: "But he can't swim..."
At that point, you see the man and his wings obligingly glide into the water. Very ironic indeed.
If I find a link to it on YouTube or GoogleVideo, I'll send it over....
