Once upon a time, Leroy was bored. He realized that for thirty years, every day he had merely woken up, played with his mathematical instruments, and eaten food, and fallen back asleep. He decided to make a change. For the first time in years, he stepped outside and saw a glorious rainbow. It was as if even the heavens were rejoicing in his life-altering decision. He was speechless. So he walked over there to the parachute building: a whole tower dedicated to parachuting and the art surrounding it.
He said, "I have no experience, but I want to go by myself, not strapped to someone else."
They replied, "Well, we usually don't allow this, but there's a rainbow out today, so we're feeling mellow and generous. Where would you like to go?"
Leroy took out the die that he always kept in his pocket. He chose six locations and rolled to see where he would end up. He rolled a "one," which he foolishly chose to be the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. He loaded up and took off, and jumped out of the plane. He was never seen again.
