If I lived in a part of the country that got snow and I could acquire a JATO unit, I probably would try to build one.

I'd probably kill myself, but hey... no risk, no reward. :)

I will now read these special vows which Homer has prepared for this occasion. "Do you, Marge, take Homer, in richness and in poorness" -- poorness is underlined -- "in impotence and in potence, in quiet solitude or blasting across the alkali flats in a jet-powered, monkey-navigated"...
