I believe I can fly.I was raised on a small farm in the middle of Dartmoor.
When I was about 5 or 6 I managed to get hold of a pair of complete chicken wings, which my dad had for some unknown reason chopped off a recently slaughtered chicken. After a few amusing seconds pulling sinews and waving the wings about, I decided that since I now had wings I would be able to fly.
I climbed onto the kitchen table and, with a wing in each hand, I launched myself into the air flapping furiously.
I failed.
Miserably.
A dozen or more times.
Conclusion: I just havent got the technique right yet - it has to work.. I have wings!

I have discovered the problem...Chickens can't really fly properly anyway, so the use of their wings has no useful effect.
On th eother hand, get yourself a set of duck/goose/other flying birds wings and you should be sorted.
