ZigZagMarquis 9 #2 June 11, 2007 Is this what you were looking for... Quote Why SKYDIVING is better than SEX ! 1. You can have six skydives a day and still want more. 2. Finding partners for skydiving is much easier - physical attraction is not as important. 3. Skydiving is much safer, no diseases and no kids. 4. Finding good partners is much easier - everyone knows in advance how good a skydiver you are 5. It's socially acceptable to do 4-ways, 8-ways, 16-ways... 6. Everyone involved is usually satisfied or not with a skydive. 7. You can ask skydivers if they've put on weight without offending them. 8. You rarely get told by your partner(s) that they've had enough. 9. Solo skydiving is not embarrassing. 10. Everyone is ugly in freefall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iambeav2 0 #3 June 12, 2007 You Know Your A Skydiver When... *Someone offers you a second plate of a very delicious and fattening dessert and you say: "No thank you, I'm watching my fall rate." *Each time you ride on an airline you insist on sitting by the door and wearing your rig. *You get engaged, and your spouse-to-be is thinking, "I can't believe I convinced him(her) to take the honeymoon in Paris!" and YOU'RE thinking, "I can't believe I convinced her(him) to take the honeymoon in Perris!" *You're watching a movie and someone falls/jumps/gets pushed off a building and you yell "PULL!!" *You can't put on a backpack without checking for leg straps. *You're taking a walk, spot a good sized field, and check for obstacles and wind direction to see how you'd make your final. *You're sitting in the TWA dome in St. Louis, the Rams score, the crowd cheers, and you're thinking "I bet I could base this thing. I've got my rig in the car." *Your clothes are kept on the floor so that your gear can have it's own closet. *You'll wake up at 6:30am on the weekends to get to the DZ, but you can't seem to be awake by 7:30 on the weekdays to be at work by 8. *BOC goes from meaning "Blue Oyster Cult" to meaning "Bottom of Container". *You're making love to your partner and they whisper "I've never done this before" and you yell out "BEEEER!". *On cloudy/windy days you go to the drop zone anyway and bitch about the weather. *On cloudy/windy days you pull out your parachute and pack it just to say that you've done something skydiving-related. *You "dirt-dive", "post-dive" and critique your love-making sessions. *The smell of bug spray makes you think of skydiving. *Whenever a passenger in a fast-moving car, you stick your head out the window and yell "FIVE LEFT" to the driver. Whenever leaving an establishment you yell "DOOR" to all the patrons before opening the door. *You don't own any clothing that you didn't get at a boogie. *Every single one of your whuffo friends is to the point of wanting to kill you every time you mention skydiving. *You analyze every flag you see in terms of it's too windy/not too windy to jump. *You analyze every flag you see in terms of which direction you'd face to land. *It's a dark sky with low clouds and you're thinking "Hop -n- Pops!". *It's so windy that trees are bending over and you're thinking "Cross country!". *You allow a maximum 55 seconds of "working time" when making love. *You can't think of a good reason to pick up your mail for three weeks after your issues of "Skydiving" and "Parachutist" arrive. *You feel naked without at least one jump ticket in your wallet. *You sign your checks with your name and USPA number. *You know to the tenth of a mile how far it is from your driveway to the drop zone's driveway. *Every time someone's beeper goes off you look at your watch to see if it's break-off altitude. *You don't remember your anniversary or your mother's birthday, but you know down to the second how much accumulated freefall time you have. *You analyze sessions of love-making in terms of "points turned". *You refer to your recent break-up as an "intentional cut-away". *You check the local weather forecast every hour before the weekend. *You get mad at the weatherman when he predicts rain for the weekend. *You can't remember the true meanings of the words "Stiletto" "Javelin" "Talon" "Racer" ..... *You walk everywhere watching the sky....it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!

lekstrom10k 0 #5 June 12, 2007 Just to add a few to your list You still speed going to the DZ with your windshield wipers going full tilt, hoping for a hole to jump through. You get mad at your wife when she wants to talk about your 4 year olds college fund the day your Skydiving or Parachutists arrives Your father in law says at a family outing,"To shitty to jump? Eh" To which you reply "To shitty for golfing too,Eh Lets get a beer" I always liked"That new TV would cost 16 jumps.the old one isnt that bad just no sound and wiggly linesi" She is going to be mad if I make a jump ,but she cant get any madder if I make 2or3. She already cut me off three weeks ago and didnt tell me until last night. Your boss wants you to work a Sunday because one of his pets couldnt. You can reply "Boy did you pick a bad day I get my perfect attendence pin at ST. Mattress then {You already saw the weather report CAVU} He will take 3 steps and realises you put one over on him but wont admit it.SKYDIVE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
