gravity is a harsh mistress

A quote from The Tick in his cartoon escapades. Specifically, he says it after falling 40-odd stories and leaving a perfectly Tick-sized hole in the ground.

The Tick is falling, very rapidly...

"I know! I'll bounce off that awning there!"

The Tick punches clean through the awning, not slowing down.

"I know! I'll bounce off that hard, flat surface there!"

Whump!
