Reginald 0 #10 January 12, 2005 A HIGHLY experienced instructor told me that if he every had a skydiver at his DZ burn in and he walked up to their body and they had not pulled ALL of their handles that he would piss on their dead body and walk away. At first I thought this was bizarrely harsh coming from such a mild mannered guy but the more I thought about it the more I understood what he was saying."We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things." CP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
