dustin19d 0 #1 February 6, 2004 So I finaly got my rig in the mail today that I've been waiting for way too long for. So I take it over to the Battalion confrence room (its carpeted) to repack it just for the hell of it. A Private on extra duty was out in the hallway mopping. He pokes his head in and we have the following conversation. Him:Whats that? Me: A parachute (I always use easy to understand words with non-skydivers-rather than canopy,Rig) Him: What do you use that for? Me: skydiving Him: How high is that? Me: It depends(I just left it at that) Him: Does it always work. He: It obvioulsy has for me so far. Him:(after a minute or 2 of studying the odd configuration of cloth and string on the floor) Why dont you just use one big string instead of all thoes little strings, wouldnt that be better? Me: stare at him for a second then tell him to get back to work in the hall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you talk to wuffo, you answer wuffo style. i'd say: "if one breaks i still have 47 lines" that's why "George just lucky i guess!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASE813 0 #4 February 6, 2004 a bit harsh calling him an idiot......... does not make him an idiot coz he dont know what a parachute is - were you born with all your knoweldge about parachutes - or were you also born "an idiot"?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speak for yourself, none of us were born with the knowledge we now have, but we were all born with ability to learn. Some just learn different things.

cocheese 0 #7 February 6, 2004 Never under estimate the intelligence of a wuffo.I had a friend who jumped once. 6 years later he said " I heard you can breathe through your skin while skydiving.... i saw it on TV " Yea we still love the guy who told the reporter that one. That's hilarious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
selbbub78 0 #8 February 6, 2004 Definitly next time you must answer with a wuffo answer! Or just tell him that you used to have just 1 'string' but it almost chocked you, so you decided to make your own canopy or something. Just be creative.

freeflir29 0 #12 February 6, 2004 Sounds like one of those guys I used to run into now and again that would say (No I'm not making this up) "I would have joined the Air Force but my ASVAB scores weren't high enough." But hey....he's probably doing at least a mediocre job of mopping those floors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
