Sentence: Vincent was a visionairy who worked in an apiary. No, he did not look after apes, he was a beekeeper, who was always abuzz with new ideas. He would drone on and on to his co-workers about his revolutionary ideas, like planting mini-video cams on the bees' backs to make cute movies for the Internet. He would wax poetic about spelling bees...bees who would spell out words. His friends thought he'd bee better off using a comb on his hair, playing his Queen cd's while actually becoming a worker and using some cream on those hives!

Etymology: Visionary (a person with unusual powers of foresight;a person given to fanciful speculations and enthusiasms with little regard for what is actually possible adjective:not practical or realizable; speculative) & Airy (not practical or realizable; speculative;characterized by lightness and insubstantiality; as impalpable or intangible as air)
