You just have to sing it like Shatner.
Since the entire construct amounts to four measures of rest, there should not be a lot of Shatner singing going on. Thank goodness.

Technically this would be the equivalent of wearing styrofoam boots for a human too. They neither sink or fly, giving access to either medium. They should use helium balloons.

I'm reminded of the Weird News story a few months ago where a woman fell into an open cesspool trying to retrieve her cellphone. In her case, she decided to swim with the feces.

When physicists use hieroglyphics to explain the secrets of the universe, they win a Nobel prize. When I do it, I'm suddenly "having a psychotic episode" and "a potential danger to myself and others". The hypocrisy.
