PARACHUTE TROUBLE

A MAN GOES SKYDIVING FOR THE FIRST TIME.

AFTER LISTENING TO THE INSTRUCTOR

FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE DAYS,

HE IS READY TO GO. EXCITED,

HE JUMPS OUT OF THE AIRPLANE.

AFTER A BIT, HE PULLS THE RIPCORD.

NOTHING HAPPENS.

HE TRIES AGAIN.

STILL NOTHING.

HE STARTS TO PANIC,

BUT REMEMBERS HIS BACK-UP CHUTE.

HE PULLS THAT CORD.

NOTHING HAPPENS...

HE FRANTICALLY BEGINS

PULLING BOTH CORDS,

BUT TO NO AVAIL.

SUDDENLY, HE LOOKS DOWN AND

HE CAN'T BELIEVE HIS EYES.

ANOTHER MAN IS IN THE AIR WITH HIM,

BUT THIS GUY IS GOING *UP*!!

JUST AS THE OTHER GUY PASSES BY,

THE SKYDIVER -- BY THIS TIME SCARED

OUT OF HIS WITS -- YELLS,

"HEY, DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT SKYDIVING?"

THE OTHER GUY YELLS BACK,

"NO! DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT GAS STOVES?"
