  1. On rear window of van: USPA sticker, "I'd rather be skydiving" bumper sticker and "There's no such thing as a perfectly good airplane" bumper sticker. Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
  2. Thanks all. It all sounded a little far-fetched to me too, but she's brought it up like three times now (according to her, "I've seen the damage") so I thought I'd ask. Seems I heard about detached retinas from bungee jumping - and that sorta makes some sense, but skydiving? Although if I don't soon get this landing thing figured out, some of these face first landings might cause me a problem! Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
  3. Perhaps this isn't the correct forum for this - if so, I apologize. A wuffo friend (a nurse) says that skydiving can cause retina detachment. I've seen many different injuries and other medical problems posted on these forums, but have never seen anything about this. Has this ever happened to anyone? I'm not talking about anything like this being caused by collisions or bad landings, but just from the act of skydiving and parachute deployment. I guess a REALLY hard opening might cause it. Any thoughts? Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
  4. "If you have recently seen a man or woman of indeterminate age, who looks like they may have been a teenage dropout, until recently worked in Wall Street, has got a hang up on tits, has enough money for a beaten-up mini-van and was recently seen firing at people with a sniper rifle, please contact your local force. He/she may be dangerous." With the possible exception of the sniper rifle, this sounds like a lot of skydivers I know... Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
  5. How NOT to Pray! Little Johnny went to his mother demanding a new bicycle. His mother decided he should take a look at himself and the way he acts, so she said, "Well Johnny, it isn't Christmas and we don't have the money to just go out and buy you anything you want. So why don't you write a letter to Jesus and pray for one instead." After his temper tantrum his mother sent him to his room. He finally sat down to write a letter to Jesus. Dear Jesus: I've been a good boy this year and would appreciate a new bicycle. Your Friend, Johnny Now, Johnny knew that Jesus really knew what kind of boy he was (brat). So he ripped up the letter and decided to give it another try. Dear Jesus: I've been an OK boy this year and I want a new bicycle. Yours Truly, Johnny Well, Johnny knew this wasn't totally honest either, so he tore it up and tried again. Dear Jesus: I've thought about being a good boy this year and can I have a bicycle? Johnny Well, Johnny looked deep down in his heart (which, by the way, was what his mother really wanted). He knew he had been terrible and was deserving of almost nothing. He crumpled up the letter, threw it in the trash can and went running outside. He aimlessly wandered about depressed because of the way he treated his parents and really considering his actions. He finally found himself in front of a Catholic Church. Johnny went inside and knelt down, looking around not knowing what he should really do. Johnny finally got up and began to walk out the door and was looking at all the statues. All of a sudden, he grabbed a small one and ran out the door. He went home, hid it under his bed and wrote this letter. Jesus, I've got your mamma. If you ever want to see her again, give me a bike. You know who.

  6. I am considering buying (or asking for Christmas) a ProTrack or Skytronic FX. They seem to have about the same features but the Skytronic is about $100 less. Is there a significate difference between the two? Thanks to all in advance. Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

    >Also check to see what kind of service you can get in your area before you buy one of >these things... if it konks out, how long would you have to wait for a repair or RMA? I doubt you'll find any repair available on inkjet printers. Typically, if the machine is still under warranty, the manufacturer will replace it. It's up to the user to foot the bill to return it. Some OEM's have an express replacement - they will send you another unit (not necessarily new) and you return your defective unit in the same box. HP used to have a deal worked out with Mail Boxes Etc. to handle the shipping (don't know if they still do that or not and I believe it depends on the model printer you have) Most local repair companies don't mess with them. With labor rates at around $85 per hour, inkjet printers are mostly considered disposable now. Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

  10. Paty was sitting in the bar nursing his sorrows when the barkeep asks, "ah Paty, ya seem a wee bit down. What’s the problem?" Pattie takes a big swig of his beer and says – "do ya know that big house down the street? I built that house with me own two hands. But do they call me Paty the house builder? Nooooo!" Paty then takes another big swig from his beer and continues, "and you know that big barn at the edge of town? I built that barn too! But do they call me Paty the barn builder? Nooooo!" Another long pull at his beer. "And I cleared 17 acres of trees with only an axe and me own two hands, but do they call me Paty the lumberjack? Nooooo! But do the nasty with a goat just ONE time…."

  14. A guy and his new very young, blonde girlfriend spend an afternoon at a nude beach where the guy gets a pretty nasty sunburn everywhere. That night they are in bed trying to have sex, but the guy's pain is just too intense. He jumps out of bed, goes to the kitchen, pours a glass of milk and dip his burning member into the milk to cool it off. The young girlfriend watches this and says, "Oh! So that's how you guys load those things!!" Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
  15. Many years ago I spent a day with a door-to-door salesman to see if I liked the job (I didn't like my day and didn't take the job). As we walked up to one house I saw a "no soliciting" sign and pointed that out to the salesman. He told me he LOVED to see those signs because those people knew they couldn't say NO!
