By Michael Stelzner

Don’t try this at home folks.

This is a story about a gas station owner and a dream.

The amazing thing is that it actually worked!

    That's pretty incredible. Do you remember Gallagher, the comedian who smashed watermelons? Sounds like something he'd do.
  • Hi Michael,
    There was a guy who already did this in 1982. His name was Larry Walters. Unfortunately, his try ended not very successfully and he was arrested for violation of US Federal Aviation Act.
    When he was asked why he had done it, Walters said "a man can't just sit around."
