And, from personal experience: Every place you take up space is now called a "slot". Example: "You got an open slot in your car? Or should I drive too?"

Well, enjoy that rig.. I damn near bought it for ya (that's right, I owe close to $2300 in taxes) ... I hate taxes ...

I've had people say "That's a cool rune on your necklace; what's it stand for?" So I tell them - "Closure"

What's the strangest thing someone has said to you about your rig or jumping? Besides the usual "Are you crazy?!" stuff. At the airport a few weeks ago, the guy driving the concourse shuttle asked me if I ever got any strange remarks "Carrying that thing on the plane" - so at least he knew what it was, and was pretty cool about it. I said "No, actually, you're the first to remark about it" Not more than 15 mins later: A girl said to me "I like your backpack" The grin musta tipped her off, because then she asked what was in it. 5 mins after that, sitting near the gate (with my coat thrown over my rig to prevent strange looks) the guy across from me asked "Do you always travel with a parachute?" I was going to respond with something witty and sarcastic, but settled for "Only when I'm heading someplace warm" Never got anything strange about jumping, except the usual "Oh! I could never do that! What's it like?" So what's your story?

wheew... was begining to think I was the only one: "On the rack/shelf I built on my dining room wall for the sole purpose of holding skydiving gear ----- 3" At least my wuffo friends should get a kick out of it. "Uhh.. why is there a parachute hanging on your dining room wall?"

Was just thinking of this over the weekend... wondered what everyone else did, especially through the Winter. Where do you keep your rig? On the floor near the door In a closet In my car Hanging in the garage Under my bed In my bed On the rack/shelf I built on my dining room wall for the sole purpose of holding skydiving gear
