That's so beautiful, congratulations. Our second was also a C who wouldn't come down. Stubborn ever since I might add, she's 14 now. All the best to your happy beautiful family. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Borrowed gear – unfamiliar (but had jumped it a few times the previous day) – pulled cutaway handle first, main pilot chute second (think about what happens next – main deploys but is already cutaway so jumper continues on in freefall). I saw that happen to a guy who was BORROWING MY RIG ! The dumbass (the other dumbass actually, I'm the dumbass who loaned out my rig) did a lazy toss with the PC, which went right over his back and collapsed in his burble. So then the genius pulled the 3 ring, the main deployed and immediately cutaway. He then told me he couldn't find the reserve handle. This was 1979, so no AAD or RSL. Just as I screamed the name of a certain Jewish carpenter at the top of my lungs in the packing area, the reserve finally came out, opening about 100ft above the marshes at the end of a lake. Had to have my rig cleaned by a rigger. Served me right. somebody got the whole thing on film too, including me running across the DZ like a jackrabbit towards the lake. NEVER LEND YOUR GEAR TO ANYONE, watching somebody go stupid on your gear is the sickest feeling in the world. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Just talked to Perris, Weather there is terrible, Guess I'll go swimming... Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I'm married, so I don't date. BUT in general, I'm not really attracted to women under 30 anymore. I'm 47 myself and find women from their thirties thru fifties very attractive. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

A man went to see his doctor about having his penis enlarged. The doctor said, "you're in luck, I was just reading my medical journals about a new technique that uses sections of elephant trunk. It heals quickly and there don't seem to be any rejection problems. We can probably get you set up for it in a few weeks". The guy said that was just great, and a few weeks later had the surgery. The following week the doc removed the bandages and the man was really pleased with his new whopper. To celebrate, he invited a really cute chic from work he'd had on his mind for some time. But just as their dinner arrived, he felt his dick unzipping itself and before he knew it, his organ had reached up to his plate, grabbed the baked potato and vanished back under the table. The poor guy's face went all red and he began to get all sweaty and short of breath. The lady, being a really nice lady, took his hand and said, "please don't be embarrassed, actually I thought that was rather impressive. Could you do that again ?" To which the man blurted out, "Hell no, if that thing shoves another hot potato up my ass, I'll die !" Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

33% think the US found WMD's in Iraq 22% thing Iraqis used WMD's against us during the war reply] We'll find those WMD's if we have to fly them into Iraq ourselves ! (Which is how they mostly got there in the first place, in the days when Rumsfeld used to shake hands with Saddam.) Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

My first was Steppenwolf, March 1969 in Rochester, NY. But I'd muchrather remember my second concert - Janis Joplin - 4/27/69, also in Rochester. I was 13 years old, in the 8th grade and somehow managed to get a third row seat for a spendy $4.50. MY GOD, she was like a hurricane. My impressionable little brain was blown beyond repair. I never recovered. First Dead show was 1970 in a college basketball gym. They dosed the entire audience with electric apple cider. I was fifteen. Got seriously grounded for that one...

The reward definitely makes the risks worth it. There is no more beautiful place to be and there's only one way to get there. I personally don't like the plane ride, I'm just as happy to get out of the thing and control my own fate (I was once in a plane that wiped out on the runway trying to take off and have known several jumpers who died in crashes on takeoff). But if I won't take the risks, I won't get that beautiful soft weightless rush or air. My kids think it's "cool" that I jump and all their friends think it's "awesome". Whatever. My wife, who made one SL long ago and accompanied an expedition to the top of El Capitan in the glory days of 1980, now doesn't even want to come out to the DZ. She doesn't want to watch. So there's always this subtle pressure to leave it. I would hate to go in on them (I'd hate to go in, period). But if it was THAT dangerous, I wouldn't do it either. It's not as safe as we'd like to say it is, but it is safe enough, mostly. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I think polling is just fine, so long as the little lady's name is kept out of the newspapers. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

If you can fit me in I think Jeremy Irons would be honored to take my part. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Anybody remember those black light posters of couples having sex for each sign of the zodiac. Anybody who's been to a party in a college dorm must've seen one (but especially back in the seventies). Scorpios are still in the lead, 13%. It's no longer a fluke, it's gotta be Valentine's Day. Second place is a tie between Cancer & Leo. I would attribute that to the annual college dorm mating frenzy at the beginning of the school year. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You got any idea how much money they'd have to waste just redoing their name on letterheads, etc. ? Besides, "you-es-pee-yay" is easier to say....(I know, I said "pee"). Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Don't forget the video cam. I once took my daughters to see Britney. Sent them in to watch the show, partied in the parking lot with other stressed out parents who appreciated my Grateful Dead CD's. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Martha can do a show on how to serve pruno. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I think bouncing around in the aircraft with the Nitro is just more exciting! LOL

Have you SEEN what the damn waivers look like ?!? Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

[he was drunk when he married her.. I think that's a legal requirement in Nevada or else the marriage isn't legal. You should get her up in the air for a tandem ASAP, your dad will appreciate it. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Let's just put it this way, between the beer & chili diet of a skydiver and a hard opening, you could do a lot worse... Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Glad you're OK. Do you know how few people can regale their grandchildren with a story about crashing their own airplane ? I don't know the answer, but it can't be very many - and you're one of 'em, so congratulations ! Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Yeah it is ! Don't you just love it the way everybody says, "oooh, a Scor-pio !" It's like being in da mob. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Men's prayer: I thank thee Lord for the wonderful date, But help me God, she says she's late. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Your Drop Zones site has out of date info on prices at Perris. I called them last week to verify whether summer prices had been slashed to $14.50 and they said, "no, that was last year". This year it's still $16 on weekdays and $20 on the weekend, at least that's what they told me. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !
