Blimp is a funny word. Not for what it is (although a large helium filled sack is rather amusing), it's how it sounds.

I mean, it's BLIMP, man!

What other words sound funny?

Pomegranate.

Yea, I'll go along with that. Smorgasbord, too. Granted that's not originally an English word, and for all I know it sounds completely different in Swedish, but it still sounds funny to me in English.

I just so happen to fly a blimp. Actually it's more like a zepplin. Sometimes I fly over major US cities and drop coins so no one goes hungry.

I'm certain if you dropped a coin from a blimp and it hit someone in the head, they'd never go hungry again.;)

I heard the coin grants wishes if you're lucky enough to be hit.

I've always been fond of the word "entrails..."

What? Stop looking at me like that!
