Bolas 5 #53 January 12, 2009 More fun to listen to their BS while keeping a straight face and then pointing out the logic and physics flaws when they're done. This way you're not trying to speak in skydiver secret code that the women you're trying to steal don't speak either. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyinNover 0 #75 January 26, 2009 QuoteSo, when is one 'officially' a skydiver? I had this question answered when I asked on DZ.com if I should or shouldn't count two tandems in my log book as part of my jumping history, since I did them years before I started AFF. The response was, "Did you or didn't you leave the plane?" ---Nover (who is NOT currently a skydiver, but did a couple dozen jumps a few years back, so I WAS a skydiver. And even I know what a BOC is.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
