...and it didn't work!
A man in China ended up in hospital after he tried to use his umbrella as a makeshift parachute. (http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_983923.html)
Reminds me of the time I jumped out my third story window into a glass of water and broke 37 bones.

I used to put a colander on my head an tuck a towel down the back of my shirt and pretend to be Super Grover.
That didn't work, either. :(

I always thought that if you ran off a cliff, you wouldn't fall until you looked down. Apparently that doesn't work either.

There was this other time a group of teenagers chased me into an alley. I painted a door on the wall in order to escape.
That didn't work.
I got beat up.

Bullets don't bounce off of you if you shout "Bazing!" either.

But can bullets bounce off you but you have to duck the gun when they throw it at you?

I once tied a rocket engine to my back while I was wearing roller skates in order to catch a bird.
The flames from the engine gave me 3rd degree burns over my back and ass while the bird just flew away.
Imagine my surprise.

Another time, I was swimming in the ocean and a strong undercurrent started to drag me under. I tried using my telepathic powers on sealife in order to have a friendly dolphin whisk me safely to shore.
Didn't happen.

One time this hunter was chasing me and I hid in a hole, thinking that I could crawl through underground and emerge from the hole in back of him and tap him on the shoulder.
Unfortunately, this didn't work out.

Once I bought an 8 foot weather balloon and a tank of helium and took a 3 litre bottle and a makshift parachute for it and I filled the bottle with a note to return the the letter with where and when it was found with a postage paid envelope and stuff. I painted the bottle with glow in the dark paint so it could be seen as it floated along. I launced it 5 years ago in Kings Park and havent heard a word back yet. Later I found out that the balloons pop by themselves at a certian altitude, so its probably still somewhere in Long Island. I had the idea that it would float for thousands of miles and Id get the card back from someone in China or something... I guess I saw too many cartoons as a kid. I videotaped it's launch too.

Somebody forgot to tell the chinese guy to yell " Chimchimcheroo". Then the umbrella trick works.
For example: Kindest Regards, Your Name

The guy did it all wrong.
He was supposed to swallow the umbrella then open it when it was inside him, then jump out the window. Everybody knows that.

Upon walking up to the bad guy's hideout I noticed a Welcome Mat. Sensing a trap door I stood next to the mat before I rang the doorbell.
That didn't work.
I fell though a trap door anyway.
