A skydiver returned home late one evening. His wife was quite upset and demanded to know why he was so late. He explained what had happened to him on the way home from the drop zone: "I was driving home and saw a car stopped beside the highway. A woman was out trying to change a tire, so I stopped to help. Her spare tire wasn't in very good shape, and I wanted to make sure she got home OK, so I drove along behind her. Once we got to her place, she invited me in for a drink. One thing led to another, and before I really knew what was happening we were in her bed having sex. Finally I realized how late it was and I left, jumped in the car and hurried home. I'm sorry I'm so late." "Don't lie to me, you son-of-a-bitch," his wife said. "You stayed and made another jump, didn't you?" ----------- Why SKYDIVING is better than sex ! 1. You can have six skydives a day and still want more. 2. Finding partners for skydiving is much easier - physical attraction is not as important. 3. Skydiving is much safer, no diseases and no kids. 4. Finding good partners is much easier - everyone knows in advance how good a skydiver you are. 5. It's socially acceptable to do 4-ways, 8-ways, 16-ways... 6. Everyone involved is usually satisfied or not with a skydive. 7. You can ask skydivers if they've put on weight without offending them. 8. You rarely get told by your partner(s) that they've had enough. 9. Solo skydiving is not embarrassing. 10. Everyone is ugly in freefall.

wuffo : Skydiver slang for people who don't parachute; from: "Wuffo you jump outta dem planes?"! Also spelled "whuffo". http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=536095;search_string=whuffo%20wuffo;#536095 I think Whuffos have move hair!

Happened on commuter flight from St. Louis to Quincy years ago: 8-10 skydivers board the plane carrying rigs. WUFFO lady asks: "are those parachutes!?" Smart-ass skydiver reply: "Yeah, Didn't you get one?!" --------------

I can't believe I let this pass. I must have been asleep! January 1, 2000. Just to add: I jumped both, just so I wouldn't have to argue. ---------------

N.S.F.W.

You should include the interview photo! ------------------------

No it ain't! but it is fricken funny! and tasteless! For a minute I thought Iposted the other video! ----------------------

Mr. White : [shouting] That's your proof? Joe : You don't need proof when you have instinct. Mr. Brown : O.K., let me tell you what Like a Virgin's about. It's all about this cooze who's a regular fuck machine, I'm talking morning, day, night, afternoon, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick. Mr. Blue : How many dicks is that? Mr. White : A lot. Mr. Pink : Somebody's shoved a red-hot poker up our ass, and I want to know whose name is on the handle! Mr. Blonde has cut off Marvin's ear and begins talking into it Mr. Blonde : Hey what's goin' on? Can you hear that?

His brother did the same thing? ------------------------------

What were we talking about?

The twins are always sending me emails, now they're sending me videos. Why can't they understand: It was only once and no I do not want to move to Texas even if their dad does have the coolest jump plane. georgewbush.com/News/MultiMedia/VideoPlayer.aspx?ID=1114&T=2&PT=hiwmp'); ----------------

I saw this coming, Republicans are all liars unless they say something the Dems consider damaging to the Republicans. I resist the urge to say exactly how I feel because I do not want to get exiled before I can laugh at all the liberal $%#&@ on Nov.3. Hopefully all the naive, uninformed, anti-patriotic and cowardise attacks on our leaders, troops, and citizens will end. Siding with the terrorists because you disagree with American policies is traitorous. The venom spewed by the anti-Bush and pro-socialist community not only encourages the evil-doers but also helps in their recruiting efforts. The majority of the news outlets pounce on every negative report; regardless of it's validity, age or origin. I have not seen a single Iraqi flying a kite, or the peaceful commerce that is occurring every day. This election is not about Kerry v. Bush; it is about Bush v. notBush. ------------------

Wrong again!! You seem to be confusing proportional allotment of electors by each individual state; and a national change to the electoral system, changing the allotment each state receives ie popular vote. Under the current system a state like Montana or Alaska each receive 3 votes, how they apportion them is up to that state( for now all states winner takes all). Under the straight popular vote allotment of electors: Those states would only get one. and the electoral system would not be required because the electors would exactly match the popular vote or 2 votes under Wendy's idea That would require an amendment. So under the context of the discussion my statement was right, your understanding of the statement, I believe, was wrong! Peace! ------------------

They burned the White House! Of course they were drunk. ----------------

Not true. TRUE! The first method is for a bill to pass both halves of the legislature, by a two-thirds majority in each. Once the bill has passed both houses, it goes on to the states. This is the route taken by all current amendments. The second method prescribed is for a Constitutional Convention to be called by two-thirds of the legislatures of the States, and for that Convention to propose one or more amendments. These amendments are then sent to the states to be approved by three-fourths of the legislatures or conventions. This route has never been taken, and there is discussion in political science circles about just how such a convention would be convened, and what kind of changes it would bring about. Regardless of which of the two proposal routes is taken, the amendment must be approved by three-fourths of states. The amendment as passed may specify whether the bill must be passed by the state legislatures or by a state convention. Only one amendment, the 21st, specified a convention. In any case, passage by the legislature or convention is by simple majority. It is interesting to note that at no point does the President have a role in the formal amendment process (though he would be free to make his opinion known). He cannot veto an amendment proposal, nor a ratification. www.usconstitution.net/constam.html#process ------------------

Article II Section 1 Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector. ---------------

You may have a valid alternative however it would still require an amendment to the Contitution. 3/4 of the small states would have to approve, not likely. --------

The electoral is a very fair way to equalize the rural and urban voting power. There is one elector per member of congress, house and senate. This gives small states(low pop.) a greater voice per capita. If the popular vote nationwide were to be used, a great swath of the country would be considered not viable. The East and West coasts would control politics in the U.S. The only reason both candidates are spending their time and money in Wis. Minn, and Ohio etc. is because those electors are important. --------------------------

Mark my word on this. Electoral College Results Bush ---320 Kerry---218 Kerry could pull off a Popular vote majority and still lose by 100 electoral votes. -----------------
