The story behind this is that I'm on a daily motivational quote e-mail listserv and this is the one I got for today. Taken out of context and put into another (skydiving, duh) it is kinda funny.

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

heh, nice quote. i always think the ants one is amusing
"when people look like ants, pull
when ants look like people, cry"
hehe, there's a slightly, ahem, ruder ending on some versions... ;)

"what's teh difference between golf and skydiving?, golfers go 'whack!, oh sh*t' skydivers go 'oh sh*t whack'"

Q: Whats the difference between a good 4-way team and a bad 4-way team?
A: When a good 4-way team burns in it goes WHACK!! When a bad 4-way team burns it it goes WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!

Hmm. I guess the head downers would be most successful then. And the poor bird-man suit guys come out on the bottom.

Naw, the bird-man suit guys are judged like skipping stones. It's how many times they bounce and the distance covered from the first bounce to final splat.
Putting in a lot of spins really wows the judges too.

I've always quoted the anonymous skydiver who said, "I now know the color of fear...it's brown!".

It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end.

skyhawk, I meant take it easy on the poster who said you get a refund if the parachute doesn't open. Do I need to explain why that is funny?
he who laughs last, doesn't get it

[skyhawk 2]

dam now i know why my english teacher was telling me to pay attention in class :-)

LOL, When I pack a parachute for someone, I usually tell the guy that. I haven't packed a malfunction yet (except for my own) - (knock on wood) and I hope I never do, but if so I'll have no problem at all returning the $5.

Blue skies, black death - ooohrah reserve!

Any altitude below an open reserve is wasted altitude
