 Bill, what you need to "ask" is for a stroke. A stroke will pay top
dollar for a clean set of bondage wings, since they are more "technical"
and appeal to the uninitiated mind. The concept that something tied up
in bungee cord has "less drag" relies solely on the fact that most
people know nothing about hydrodynamics, but they readily make the
association with anything this convoluted and "drag", as in "drag queen"
or other perversion  which serves to work as an advertising gimmick on
most fat slobs and, deviates, mutants, and any farm-animal stupid goober
as a subliminal form of validation.

 These bondage wings can provide you with several hundred dollars worth
of entertainment. Bill Mee and I got a rebreather once with this
monstrosity attached to it, and when we got back to the dock, we threw
the rebreather in the pool, and the wings ran away. Before we knew it,
the rebreather was engulfed in the most hilarious raft-like balloon, and
we fell about the place in laughter. Neither one of us could stop
laughing  - worth whatever they cost, and then to top it off , my
brother's dog, Goober, freaked out over the wings, and atacked them.
This brought the house down again.

 By the way, are these being sold by a "friend" of yours?
