  1. Subject: asshole on speed dial For all of you who occasionally have a really bad day - when you just need to take it out on someone! Don't take that bad day out on someone you know. Take it out on someone you DON'T know. Now get this... I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I had to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered nicely saying, "Hello?" I politely said, "This is Patrick Hanifin and could I please speak to Robin Carter?" Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on me. I could not believe that anyone could be that rude. I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. She had transposed the last two digit incorrectly. After I hung up with Robin, I spotted the wrong number still lying there on my desk. I decided to call it again. When the same person once more answered, I yelled, " You're an asshole!" and hung up. Next to his phone number I wrote the word "asshole" and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up. He's answer I'd yell, "You're an asshole!" It would always cheer me up. Late in the year, the phone company introduced caller ID. This was a real disappointment for me; I would have to stop calling the asshole. Then one day I had an idea. I dialed his number, then heard his voice, "Hello?" I made up a name. "Hi, this is the sales office of the telephone company and I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with our caller ID program?" He went, "NO!" and slammed the phone down. I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an asshole!" The reason I take the time to tell you this story is to show you how, if there's ever anything really bothering you, you can do something about it. Just dial 823-4863. Read on. An old lady at the shopping center really took her time pulling out of the parking space. I didn't think she was ever going to leave. Finally, her car began to move and she started to very slowly back out of the slot. I backed up a little more to give her plenty of room to pull out. "Great," I thought, "She's finally leaving." All of a sudden, this black BMW comes flying up the parking aisle, in the wrong direction, and pulls into her space. I hit the horn and started yelling, "You can't do that. I was here first!" The guy climbed out of his BMW completely ignoring me. He walked toward the shopping center, as if he didn't even hear me. I thought to myself, "This guy's an asshole. There sure are a lot of assholes in this world." Then I noticed he had a "For Sale" sign in the back window of his car. I wrote down the number. Then I hunted for another place to park. A couple of days later, I'm at home sitting at my desk. I had just gotten off the phone after calling 823-4863 and yelling, "You're an asshole!" (It's really easy since I have his number on speed dial now.) I noticed the phone number of the guy with the black BMW lying on my desk and thought I'd better call this guy, too. After a couple rings, someone answered the phone and said, "Hello?" I said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?" "Yes, it is." "Can you tell me where I can see it?" "Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house and the car's parked right out front." I said, "What's your name?" "My name is Don Hansen." "When's a good time to catch you, Don?" "I'm home in the evenings." "Listen Don, can I tell you something?" "Yes." "Don, you're an asshole!" and I slammed the phone down. After I hung up, I added Don Hansen's number to my speed dialer. I must say, for a while things seemed to be going much better for me. Now, when I had a problem, I had two assholes to call. Then, after several months of calling the assholes and hanging up on them, it just wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. I gave the problem some serious thought and came up with a solution. First, I had my phone dial asshole # l. A man answered nicely saying, "Hello?" I yelled, "You're an asshole!" but I didn't hang up. The asshole said, "Are you still there?" I said, "Yeah." He said, "Stop calling me." I said, "Make me." He said, "What's your name, Pal?" So, I told him, "Don Hansen." He said, "Where do you live?" " 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house and my black BMW's parked out front." I'm coming over right now, Don. You'd better start saying your prayers." "Yeah, like I'm really scared, asshole!" and I hung up. Then I called asshole # 2. He answered, "Hello?" I said, "Hello, asshole!" He said, "If I ever find out who you are..." "You'll what?" I'll kick your ass." "Well, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now, asshole!" and I hung up. Then I picked up the phone and called the police. I told them I was at 1802 West 34th Street and that I was going to kill my gay lover, as soon as he got home. Another quick call to Channel 13 about the gang war going on down on West 34th Street. After that I climbed into my car and headed over to 34th Street to watch the whole thing. Glorious satisfaction! Watching two assholes kicking the crap out of each other in front of six squad cars, a police helicopter and a news crew was one of the greatest experiences my life!!!

I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

  8. True story. I flew SW when they first started w/ the cheap flights. From Ohio to Orlando. Plane was late taking off, pilot hauled ass down the taxiway ,whipped the U-turn full throttle and we were in the air. Soon as the seat belt light went off the Capt came walking down the aisle intoducing himself(Captain BOB) and telling everybody to drink up cause the airline needed the money. Me made up some time but were still late arriving in Orlando. He says "welcome to the house of the big mouse" turns so hard and fast at the end of the runway we were all leaning over in our seats. I swear I heard brakes squealing as he pulled up to the terminal.

  16. I did two after 200 jumps but the students were my kids. Had to ok it w/ the ST&a and the TM. We debated whether I should go float before the camera man vs. a chase . We decided a chase w/ a spilt sec. delay on my exit. All went well. Shook both kids hands on their jumps at 7000' and was outta there at 6000'. Daughter did good but they called my son "the tandem from hell". You do get distracted w/ it tho as I was on my back watching them deploy and fly when I realized I was at 1600' on my back over a river. Another story.
