Ahh, humor!
I consider it half a launch because he only paid attention for half the time the rest of us were there. I think there were seven of us that launched that day. Three of us maintained our interest for the entire time and then some. Two others launched a couple of times, then were itching to leave. The other two, one of whom was my brother, discovered "piggybacking" grasshoppers and after one flight, spent the rest of the day walking around stomping on them.
