Hanging it up for good

Recommended Posts

Hey folks, since I've been spending less and less time at the DZ recently, I've been searching for something that "grabs me" with the same kind of passion that skydiving used to. I finally found it:

I heard that this moist towlette collecting can be dangerous. Are you sure you want to do this?

Very much so! I was in moist towlette collecting for years. Finally the liablility caught up with me. I just couldn't keep taking chances anymore not to mention the insurance cost is quite steep. It is a very dangerous hobby. Sometimes you have to handle 2 or maybe even three towelettes at a time. God forbid if you don't store them correctly. If you keep them all in one place, like a fishbowl, you can seriously hurt yourself when you want to view a particular towelette. Statistics show that reaching into a fishbowl full of moist towelettes gives a 1 in 300,000 chance that you will receive quite a nasty paper cut. Just think about it! That is some thick paper so it will be a nasty cut. Some of the moist towelettes seem to have a thin layer of foil inside the paper. That's metal! We're talkin' serious infection. You also run the risk of jamming one of the corners of the moist towelette under a fingernail! Could you imagine!

It was quite a decision to make but between the rising costs of liablility insurance for the hobby, the severity of the injuries, the tremendous amound of time it drains and the intellect it takes to be a connoisseur of moist towelettes I just had to give it up and take up a safer hobby such as skydiving.

I wish you luck in your new venture but please, please, please under all circumstances in the wide world of moist towelette collecting make sure you are extremely cautious and careful. Also a word of advice, there are a lot of phony moist towelette packages out there so before you think you are getting a too good to be true deal, check it out, becase it probably is too good to be true. Stay away from the collectors in Algeria and Nigeria. The have been trying to pass bogus moist towelettes into the U.S.

Be careful and good luck.

Welcome to the club man, which region are you a member of, or haven't you signed up with a collector's group?
I do this on the side, next to work and skydiving. It sure makes for a busy life, but it is so rewarding...

How about the ones that come with a Kentucky Fried Chicken order? Those are handy, I keep one in my wallet.



And the ones from Hooters have nifty sayings on the back of them.:D:D

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
