Kites are great for getting outside on a beautiful, slightly windy, spring day and showing all those around you just how much of a dork you are.
There is no reason why box kites should be able to fly; therefore, they are a tool of the devil. Others tools of the devil include the scythe and the exploding socket wrench set.
Kites have been around for more than ten thousand years; in fact, there’s a painting of someone flying a kite in a cave in Indonesia. How he was able to fly a kite in a cave still baffles kite-historians.
The sport of kite-fighting is important because it shows us the limit of how stupid something can be and still be considered a sport.
Fly a kite to simulate walking a pet eagle so you can see if you want one before you go to the pet store and buy one.
Kites are a fine way to teach a child about drag, lift and how to apply first aid after his father falls out of a spruce tree.
Kites are a little better than Frisbees because vegan hippies don’t fly kites.
If you want to be absolutely sure that a falling kite will hit its desired target, just make the desired target your face.
In seventh century China, flaming kites were used to defeat the enemy because the enemy knew, if they were crazy enough to burn their OWN kites, they wouldn’t hesitate to burn theirs.
The Wright brothers used kites in their creation of the airplane. Obviously, kites lack a place for people of normal size to comfortably sit; so, they still aren’t much different than modern airlines.

Very clever. Loved the last point. 😊

They were all really funny – loved the idea and the list. I liked the pet store and the vegan hippies the best I think. I can’t tell you how many times I tried to fly a kite with the kids. If we finally DO get it in the air, I feel like such a rock star because most of the time it just drags on the ground behind us as we run around like idiots

As a kid, I was the same way. I felt like Charlie Brown dragging that kite behind me. My father took us out on a day with a little wind and got the kite up in about three seconds. My first thought was, “Humpf, so it is possible”.

I’m definitely not the pointiest tool in the shed – takes me awhile to figure to stuff like that out. But hey! That’s pretty cool!

My dad used to drag us out on weekends to fly kites. He was always very enthusiastic about it, though the rest of us weren’t.

Dads are like that. We lock into a pleasurable memory and then try to duplicate it with our own kids. It’s easier just to listen to metal and smoke dope with them…

Kites are also good at conducting electricity! Maybe that’s how they “invented” the fire!😄😄😄

When I was younger (and prettier) I found that flying a kite poorly on a windy beach attracted some cute kite-flying “experts” who were very willing to “help” me. 😉
