*You try to convince the flight attendant on a commercial flight that you really! would be much more comfortable sitting on the floor. *
:D I dare someone to attempt this and come back to us with the results and what the flight attendant says! hehe

i was talking to a guy at the dz last weekend, and he told me that he was at the checkout at walmart, and when he reached for his wallet with his right hand, his left automatically came up to his forehead! :D

Instead of working, you lurk and post on dz.com all day.


That doesn't make you a skydiver, that just means you're lazy.

My boss pointed out to me that I was doing that one day when I reached for my pager...

You know you're an old-time skydiver when you have 5000 jumps... and 1 1/2 hours of freefall time.

By the way, I actually learned to pack a PC last weekend - did three of 'em and a couple T-10s. Good stuff!

I give SCUBA diving assistance and I tell others "if you feel to cold, you should use a jumpsuit" after I see theyr big ¿? I remember that its not called jumpsuit its called wetsuit. I also tell them to check out if the harness (BCD) fits or tight the harness straps and again after I see the BIG ¿? I remember that its called BC not harness. [:/]

I ride a motorcycle to the DZ sometimes and I wear a fairsized backback. I have got myself several times as I prepared to get on the bike feeling around the bottom of the pack to be sure that my hackey is reachable...
Also I heard a story of a fellow at my DZ who went skiing with his kids the first winter after he started jumping, and took a jump lost his balance and ended up airborne for a few seconds. Being that we was falling through the air he arched!! After he landed in a heap with a brokened rib or 2 his 13 year old sun skis over to him and says "...wrong sport dad..."

Priceless...
