Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for August 10, 2023

Ya think Broomie.

I think it’s a great idea, but she needs to take it a bit further. Add a seat and seat belts, and it’s, as they used to say, T̲h̲e̲ o̲n̲l̲y w̲a̲y t̲o̲ f̲l̲y.

Points to who can identify the airline that had that as a slogan.

A fair number of planes in the early days of aviation were pushers rather than pullers. They fell out of favor fast, although it would have solved a problem that arose in the earl days of The Great War when pilots shot their own propellers off. (Eventually someone invented a way to synchronize the bullets with the propellers and make dog fights safer… At least for the winner.)

Just waiting to see what happens when the fan is turned off!

At least now, she won’t be likely to fall off the broom. Crashing, now that another matter.

Not to worry Broomie, that was only a 100 foot extension cord.

You’re right, Broomie. You’ve had smarter ideas.

where is the power source for the fan. most anr powered by a large v8

like ANY of her ideas…

HEY, WHERE’S THE BRAKES ON THIS THING!!

Broomie, you should have consulted an aerospace engineer, Wile E. Coyote. He would’ve help you with broom add-ons! from Acme, when you deserve the best! ;-p

I guess Broomie isn’t a fan of the idea.

Nice try, Broomie. It just needs a little adjustment here and there.

Actually, rather than trying to soup up the old broom, you should head on down to Witch Supplies Central and buy an all-new flying broom!
