dumb rich people

[SpeedRacer 1]

We need to accumulate info about dumb rich people. It's quite clear that we as skydivers don't have enough money, so we need to study the stupid things rich people do so we can figure out how to scam money out of them.

I'll start: Last year I walked into a boozshy boutique in Georgetown in Washington DC. On one rack were some plain cotton T-Shirts with a dark blue B w/ a circle around it, silk-screened onto the T-shirt. The price tag was $89.00. Un-f'in-believable. I called the clerk over & asked why someone would pay 89 bucks for a T-shirt and he said w/ a straight face, "That's a designer logo, sir!"

We gotta lotta dumb rich foreign college kids coming into DC, but this really takes the cake. Anyone else have any insights into the minds (?!) of the Stupid Rich?? we gotta figure out a way to exploit this "mentality"

Sadly enough, I've studied dumb rich people and figured out how they got this way. They are either:

1. born to smarter rich people
2. married to smarter rich people looking for a trophy spouse

Number one, sadly, is already out of reach, given the fact that you are born and yet not rich. Number two, however, is still possible!

Let's come up with an account called the "Poor Skydivers Need More Jumps Fund" and tell that that contributing large sums of cash to it will make them the envy of all their friends.

Always find it amazing how people pay so much money to advertise a brand - shouldn't they be paying you (or me) to do it? The only advertising I want on my tshirts is skydiving stuff.

I dunno, but this struck a chord with me:

Skydiving is for cool people only

Only two things I advertise for (T-shirt wise- ) are skydiving companies and Harley-Davidson dealers-

Y'know, if we could find a way to be tax-deductable we could get a shitload of $$ off the rich--

"They wanted to go for the brass ring and really live the good life," Braxton said. "What they don't seem to get is that the key to living the good life is to avoid that brass ring like the fucking plague."
(from The Onion-)

I think that says it all !!

F*CK the BRASS RING!!

I just turned 40 and got my POPS membership- I like thier motto:

" You don't quit skydiving because you get old, you get old because you quit skydiving."

I refuse to get old!

Could you imagine what we would be doing if we, as skydivers, waited until we could actually AFFORD it? Makes me shudder!!!

Huh. I guess I hadn't really seen it from that angle before.

If I ventured in the slipstream; Between the via-ducts of your dreams.......could you find me?

mmm- I wonder how they "rest"

I myself, prefer lying on my belly starting at 13,500" -
Others prefer standing on thier head or in a nice sitting posistion-
That , my friend, is what I call "therapy"

And all ya gotta do is jump!!!
