I'm putting a new balloon through my rigorous testing today, this recruit is a green punch ball balloon so I'm expecting a lot of it! I huff and puff big lungfuls of air into it, stretching it and squeezing it as I go to make sure it's at it's very limit before I even think about tying it off. And just when I think it's done a good job: as I try to tie it the little loon pops right in front of me! What a dissapointment, maybe the next one will be better trained ;) WMV Version
