mountainman 0 #1 August 14, 2001 hey all......i know that there are a TON of these things, but I dont recall seeing this one:All of us from the DZ were at Chili's the other day talking about exit weight and wing loading over some beers and Long Islands, and I noticed something------->You are a skydiver if, when asked your weight, you give your exit weight....and you have to subtract your gear weight to remember your "real" weight.Any more original entries out there??--------------Our website...updated daily Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phastasphuk 0 #2 August 14, 2001 "You're a skydiver if your reply to the g/f when she moans about what to do the last weekend you're home before you go away for 5 weeks, when you want to jump, and she wants to be home and do "things":...but hunny, I'll be away from my chute 5 weeks too...."DOH...chris"but hunny, I'll be away from my chute 5 weeks too..." -chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #3 August 14, 2001 The cost of everything you do is compared to how many jumps you can purchase.An example is having your hair professionally done would cost about $75.00. That is 3 jumps and enough money to buy beer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkM 0 #5 August 14, 2001 You know you're a skydiver when half your friends are pilots and you're constantly begging them for a "ride up" when they do their commercial flights."Just log me onto the cargo manifest" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PalmettoTiger 1 #6 August 14, 2001 You've ever used a hook knife to release a stubborn bra strap.You've ever told your jumping buddies "Pray for me - I'm flying commercial" before a vacation.When sitting in an exit row, you hold your copy of Parachutist or Skydiving so that the flight attendants can clearly see what you're reading.Blues, squares,PTiger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #9 August 15, 2001 Driving to the DZ last week, my speedometer was on 185 999 miles. My first thought was what to organize, then when it clocked 186 000 I shouted 'Beer!' and considered pie-ing my dashboard. About then I realized I need to get my car radio fixed....

freefallfreak 0 #10 August 15, 2001 Skreamer,go ahead and pie the dashboard...then when you have finished a good hard day of skydiving, you will have something to eat that (in warm climates) will be nice and toasty for you...FFF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xybe 0 #11 August 16, 2001 How about when all your vacations spots are within driving distance from a DZ (or in extreme cases a windtunnel). People planning their honeymoon this way may need professional help.Still shedding whuffo-nessCheck out the Hardcore Whuffo pages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
