Financial Planning. Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with which to share his fortune. One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. 'I may look like just an ordinary man,' he said to her, but in just a few years, my father will die, and I'll inherit $65 million.' Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother. Women are so much better at financial planning than men.

A pensioner drove his brand new Mercedes to 100 mph, looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a police car behind him. He floored it to 140 , then 150, ... then 155, ... Suddenly he thought, "I'm too old for this nonsense !" So he pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the police car to catch up with him. The officer walked up to him, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in ten minutes. Today is Friday and I'm taking off for the weekend with my family. If you can give me a good reason that I've never heard before, why you were speeding... I'll let you go." The Man looked very seriously at the police man, and replied :- "Years ago, my wife ran off with a policeman, I thought you were bringing her back." !!! The Cop left saying, " Have a good day, Sir ".....

A friend of mine also lost his rig through UK Mail during the summer and like you they refused to pay up for it. Best thing you can do is avoid Using UK Mail, also have you tried to contact consumer Rights? or maybe a program like Watchdog?

Sitting on TI lap during climb-Creepy?
irishrigger replied to sky4meplease's topic in Tandem Skydiving
the only time i had a passenger sit on my lap is when i am out first with a Cessna 185. i try to get as much forward as i can for take off. i am a big lad at 6'5 and 280 lbs but the odd time when i am in the back of a 185 i be kneeling up behind the pilot seat and once above 2k i will sit down and then get the passenger sit between my legs. i have done about 400-500 exits out of a 185. any other aircraft i would not have them sitting on my lap. and i will do this with male and female passengers. but these were done in Ireland and we do not have the same problem as the US in that way. and i would always brief my passengers before hand that they might be sitting on my lap on the way up and if anyone had an issue with that i give them the option of another tandem master. never had any issues and no one ever asked to change -
Donald Trump and Barack Obama somehow ended up at the same barbershop. As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were even afraid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics. As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Trump in his chair reached for the aftershave. Trump was quick to stop him saying, 'No thanks, my wife will smell that and think I've been in a whorehouse,' The second barber turned to Obama and said, 'How about you?' Obama replied, 'Go ahead, my wife doesn't know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like.'

So you think you're a TI? Are you sure?
irishrigger replied to Remster's topic in Safety and Training
yes very interesting reading, the shit will hit the fan big time over this -
Hi, yes this can happen on occasion, and 99.99% of the time it is not an issue. although i have very rarely seen this on solo gear it seems to be more common with Drogues on tandems. it is normally a result of a very very slow and sniffling opening and where the end cells are or can be partially closed. the Pilot chute can drop down on top of the canopy when that happens and just go over the tail and wrap around the lines there. is there many jumps on that pilot chute? it might be no harm to get the pilot chute looked at by a rigger. when was the last time you checked the length of your kill-line?

USPA Acts to Ensure Proper TI Qualifications
irishrigger replied to fencebuster's topic in Tandem Skydiving
it seems that about 140 USPA Tandem Masters have been affected by this. from what i read and understand these ratings were issued by USPA, otherwise USPA would not get these people to re-certified! a big question is how these rating were issued in the first place when the named person had there rating already suspended? this is going to be one hell of a mess to clear up! -
A friend of mine is just back from Thailand after a golf trip and he almost had sex with one of those Lady Boys that he happened to meet in a bar. He said she looked like a woman,talked like a woman, smelled like a woman and acted like a woman but when she drove them back to her place and reversed the car perfectly into a tiny parking space so he got out of there fairly quick !!!!!!!!

Oliver Purblicoff was teeing off from the men's tee. On his downswing, he realized that his wife, Maureen, was teeing up on the woman's tee directly in front of him. Unable to stop his swing, he nailed it, and hit her directly in the temple, killing her instantly.... A few days later, Oliver got a call from the coroner regarding her autopsy. Coroner: "Oliver, your wife seemed to have died from blunt force-trauma to the head. You said you hit a golf ball and hit her in the temple, is that correct?" Oliver: "Yes, sir, that's correct." Coroner: "Well, I found a golf ball wedged in her butt." Oliver: "Was it a Titleist 3?” Coroner: "Yes, it was." Oliver: "That was my mulligan..."

more Irish humour! Conjoined twins walk into a bar in Ireland and park themselves on a bar stool. One of them says to the barman, "Don't mind us mucker; we're joined at the hip. I'm Sean, he's Paddy. Two Guinness please." The barman, feeling slightly awkward, tries to make polite conversation while pouring the swally. "Been on holiday yet, fellas?" "Off to America next month," says Sean. "We go to the States every year, rent a big car, and drive for miles and miles, don't we, Paddy?" Paddy nods. "Ah, America!" says the barman. "Magic country...the sights, the people, the monuments, the food and especially the beer." "Nah, we don't like that aul American shite," says Sean. "Guinness and spuds, that's for us, eh Paddy? And we can't stand the American people, they're so arrogant and rude." "So why keep going to America?" asks the barman. Sean replies: "Gives Paddy a chance to drive...

This man was sitting quietly reading his paper one morning, peacefully enjoying himself, when his wife sneaks up behind him and wacks him on the back of his head with a huge frying pan. He asks, "What was that for?" She replies, "What was that piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name Marylou written on it?" He says, "Oh honey, remember two weeks ago when I went to the horse races? Marylou was the name of one of the horses I bet on." She is appeased and goes off to work around the house. Three days later he is once again sitting in his chair reading and she repeats the frying pan swatting. He says, "What's that for this time?" She answered, "Your horse called.

I have to Agree with Chuck, i never heard of this incident either. and as for TV they are well known for dramatization of events.

I think the Program you are referring to is called "Untold Story's of the ER". i saw that episode myself and it did state that it was a Tandem Pair that got impaled somewhere in North America, not sure if it was in the US or Canada the program mentioned. However,I never heard of the actual incident itself. I am sure someone on here would have heard about it.
