Courtesy of Aesop, we find this video compilation of Wile E. Coyote's encounters with gravity. It's ten minutes of self-inflicted mayhem, including several excerpts I'd never seen before. Very satisfactory to the destructive little boy inside many men.
He never learns, does he? Sadly, most of us guys don't, either - but like Wile, we keep on trying!

Chuck Jones had a set of rules for Wile E. and the Road Runner, from which comes this wisdom.
8. Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy.

I was surprised to see that "gravity never works until he looks down" wasn't on that list.
Thanks for 10 minutes away from our current mess.
Wyle E, was my hero growing up. Him and Evel Kneivel.
If you new me personally it would make absolute sense....
Tom Smith wrote a Road Runner filk. Only version I could find was this countrified version.

Gravity is a harsh mistress
