My uncle, a balloon ascensionist Effingham Hoofnagle, took a chance. He was three miles and a half up in the air.
He jumped out of the balloon basket and took a chance of landing on a load of hay.

**Og Oggilby:**
Golly! Did he make it?

**Egbert Sousé:**
Uh... no. He didn't. Had he been a younger man, he probably would have made it. That's the point. Don't wait too long in life.
