Tennessee doesn't see that many hang gliders, so when BillyBob saved up and bought himself one, he didn't really know where to go to get instruction.
He just took it to the top of the highest clear hill around, took off running, and, when he reached the edge, up into the wind he went!
Down below, Ma and Paw were sitting on their front porch, swinging and talking about the good ol' days when suddenly Ma shouted, "Paw! Lookee thar! Ain't that the biggest bird ya ever seen?"
Paw agreed, reached into the living room, grabbed his shotgun, took careful aim, and "BANG! BANG!"
The monster bird continued sailing silently overhead. "I think ya missed him, Paw," said Ma.
"Yeah, mebbe so," he grunted, "but at least he let go of BillyBob!"
