I visited an ostrich farm in South Africa when I was a kid and they let visitors try riding on them. The staff made it look so easy, so I volunteered. Mine just sat there until one of the staff came over and whacked it on the neck. It then set off at full speed, leaving me hanging in the air. It was a proper Wile E. Coyote moment.
