jumper596 0 #1 June 12, 2003 I started wearing a closing pin necklace recently. Whuffos keep asking me what it is. I don't want to make some wise ass remark to them, well yes I do, but I'm a nice guy so I don't. I need a good line ! Will someone help? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #2 June 12, 2003 Someone I hate tells people it's a rune meaning "closure." It's the only clever thing he's ever said.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dixieskydiver 0 #8 June 12, 2003 You could say it's a really crappy fishing hook, but since you had already paid for it you decided to get some use out of it.

aneblett 0 #9 June 12, 2003 I wear one too. I am not very creative in my responses. I just tell them its a skydiving thang. and they usually leave it at that. Either because they don't believe me or cause they now think I am crazy.. AgeS.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.

MissMae 0 #12 June 12, 2003 I was actually shocked at how many people ask, or they think it is a tribal thing because I made mine w/ a beaded necklace.. Ha! Reminds me of that song by ZZ top, but it isn't about pearls..... Anyway, I had a guy ask me today where I jumped at, and I told him then asked how he knew and he was like "because you are wearing a closing pin"... That was a first... Damn, does this mean a case of beer? But I usually tell people it is a skydiving thing too, but most people go into the 2,000,000 questions after that point... You could always tell them it is a key to unlock your sex tools/toys/etc... That will probably get them to stop asking. take the time to appreciate the people around you.

Zenister 0 #13 June 12, 2003 yeah right thats sure to run them off.. i think women get asked much more about it because its a good opening line. and an excuse to stare at your chest.a way to 'break the silence' without seeming like a duffus...same problem some women have with tattoes.. i ussually tell them its a closing pin, which then needs an explanation..if they are still paying attention after that i might give them some of my time.. i have used the "symbol of closure" before, but that does just cause more confusion... i did meet 2 skydivers while in kuwait because of the pin though so its not a bad way to be recognized without wearing a clown loud skydiving shirt..____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

MissMae 0 #14 June 12, 2003 It runs some of them off, or just the thought of a woman who wont put up with shit makes them go away. I've learned well.. take the time to appreciate the people around you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
