Oh! You're one of THOSE!
IF its in the air, I helped put it there, and it
better STAY in the air. Iff'n it don't.... I'll learn
how use one of those pary-chute thingys on the way
down. I'm sorry but I can't see the reason to jump out
of a perfectly good, flyable aircraft. Don't get me
wrong if you, enjoy (?) that kinda thing more power to
you. I'm of the firm belief that its not the fall that
kills you, nor the immediate deceleration trauma when
you impact the ground, its the sudden instantaneous
realization that yes, I've been this incredibly
stupid! LOL!
