Jiminy Crickets! I have a friend who sky-dives, and she’s broken every bone in her body, but still says, “Well, it’s safer than driving!” I say, OK, but it’s still not as safe as not jumping out of airplanes.
No, I’m not saying “he deserved it,” he certainly didn’t, and I suppose it is safer than driving a car, but Jiminy Crickets!
I wonder where his legs landed?
… and how would you like to be the greenskeeper of the golf course they landed on?
Why, on De Land, silly.
Weird, I grew up in De Land but hadn’t thought of it for years until last night when, while planning a trip to Disney, I saw it on a map. Hey, same view as Gus!
I think the question is what the hell was the plane doing flying at 600 feet through the drop zone? WWII flashbacks or what?
. . . and how the hell did he manage to collide with a plane he’d just jumped out of?
God, I hope the legs didn’t land just as some poor woman was carrying her Wendy’s chili back to the car . . .
Ironic that his name was Wing…
(There’s got to be a few jokes in there somewhere.)
Except for the removal of the now useless legs, the cleanup of the blood (if on grass) would be nil. Blood makes a wonderful fertilizer.
If your ball was trapped by the leg(s), do you get a free drop?
-Butler (Yes, I’m going to hell for that thought).
Well you know what they say, any landing you can walk away from…
Oh.
Never mind.
Race Bannon was hit by a plane that he jumped out of. Granted, that was on The Venture Brothers.
I trust he didn’t have to wait long for the other one to drop.
A co-worker commented that between the legs and the Wings, there has to be a KFC joke in there…
And yeah - we all mentioned “chili.”
Not chili… feet-based dressing.
That Twotter can come down a helluva lot faster than a person can fall. The quicker the plane cames down, the sooner it can be loaded with jumpers and sent back up.
Now, now, let’s not jump to conclusions.
i know, but it was the best i could come up with on short notice
Fourteen other people maybe, but sixteen skydivers.
Hey, is it getting warm in here?
I am a sick, sick man. I keep checking back with this thread every time I see a new post. And I swear the entries keep getting funnier and funnier!
At least I’m not alone in being a sick, sick man!
The poor guy died, I don’t really see the humour in this.
You don’t see any irony? Relax, it wasn’t you or anybody you know (I should be careful, there are supposed to be lightning storms in the area).
Wouldn’t that be seventeen?
Oh, sixteen other skydivers.
On an unrelated note, was this the first skydive for “Gus”? Because if it was, he sure as heck started his skydiving career on the right foot.
where am I going, and why am I in this handbasket?
Jeez, Otto, you should have put a spoiler tag on that or something. I nearly killed myself trying to suppress that laughter.
