Another dead straight flight. Avast, me proud beauty!  Ejection sounded like a shotgun goin' off over me head.  I saw t' event, but nothin' after it.  I immediately started scannin' t' horizon around right field, hopin' t' see t' rocket recovering, me bucko, but still saw nothing. Well, blow me down!  I decided t' walk over and see if anythin' turned up, just by chance.  I found t' body core sampled, ya bilge rat, t' Keelhaul®©™, shiver me timbers, elastic, nose cone and Mylar streamer nowhere t' be found.
