happythoughts 0 #51 October 18, 2004 C'mon people, it's all about "sharing"... I was told this "no shit, there I was..." story. Perhaps legend, perhaps true. I don't know. The dz luncheria is having chili for lunch. A jumper takes a little of his and puts it in a plastic baggie which he places in his helmet. On the ride up, he fakes puking into his helmet. A conspirator leans over, looks into the helmet, "ooh a big piece", picks out a piece, pops it into his mouth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DTOXX 0 #54 October 19, 2004 I am actually glad this thread has started as it gives me the perfect venue for a question/comment. Having done most of my jumps at my beloved SkyDiveTaft I thought this was a 'community wide' symbol but perhaps is just local to us. Please advise... When someone farts on the ride up they use one hand to create the "hang loose" sign. They then raise this to their forehead, thumb touching forehead, and extending pinky upwards thus creating a trumpet effect. This tells everyone exactly who did it and yes, these individuals are amazingly proud of there omissions. My helmet is my best defense and I must admit it is priceless to see an entire plane react in unison. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airman1270 0 #57 October 19, 2004 Hee hee... Back in June I visited the Ranch in NY, and was sitting in the back of the Otter by the door looking forward. Nobody knew me. The door was open, which I thought would help, but it turned out that the air flow was moving toward the front. After cutting loose a particularly award-winning sample, I could follow its progress by watching the horrified reactions on everyone's faces as the specimen wafted along on its journey. Sorry, guys. Cheers, Jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vt1977 0 #58 October 19, 2004 QuoteC'mon people, it's all about "sharing"... If you are less than keen on smelling what others like to share, I have a great tip... Wear a full face helmet. Put a couple of drops of the essential oil of your choice (I tend to use olbas oil, but lavender oil is good too) in the nose piece of your helmet. When people start to "share", put helmet on and enjoy the sweet smell of whatever essential oil you have chosen rather than the un-sweet smell that is being shared around the aircraft!

skyrider 0 #61 September 3, 2010 I learn early on, from the Gumbies 4 way team, "release it , cliam it , Bask in it".... Or if there are Tandems/Students on board, Announce, "I Love the smell of fear!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or if there are Tandems/Students on board, Announce, "I Love the smell of fear!" One time riding to altitude with Haagen Dazs somebody ripped one. I looked at him and said "Ahh the smell of fear". He looked back at me and said "No I'm pretty sure that's shit." I believe he was correct You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
