Pardon Me
I realize that the original post by BP was serious, and that there was some seriousness to most of the responses and counter-responses in this thread....
but...
from another prespective, some of this is absolutley downright and plainly very very funny...
thanks you guys... made my day...

My old job I used to "manage" people....
Bouncer? No way, not in a bar anyway. I did bounce once when my parachute collapsed....only fell 40 ft or so.....certainly was the conversation piece of the day. CINCHouse (my wife here on the forum btw...) certainly spread the news here and gave me an earful for sure....LOL....needless to say, I don't jump unless the plane is on fire now.
Yes, there are some funny peeps here that keeps me entertained on a daily basis.

Why jump out of a perfectly good airplane????

ask azzy.
You are most likely correct in that statement. However, a personal attack on a friend of mine gets the better of me all the time. Can't help myself...it's the "on/off" switch I have....sometimes it gets turned "on" and off I go.
Ha ha! Your mates must really enjoy winding you up then! It must be dead easy.
What's the expression? 'Like shooting fish down a well'!

Tony...I jump because it was part of my job in the past and then I did it for fun. Nothing like flinging yourself out of a plane and letting gravity pull you towards the ground the whole time thinking...did I really pack this 'chute right!?!?!? Pucker factor times 10....I was only worried when I did jumps that involved my old profession....got scary at times.
Shooting fish in a well? LOL...sometimes. Most of my friends know I have a great sense of humor and they can joke on me. I give as well as take.
However, blatant disrespect to someone I know as a great friend of mine does get me riled up. A lot of people know of Sterling, but I KNOW him and he has done things for me that has shaped my life for the better. Same goes for Jack. It was much much more about life than guitars and music. I take their advice seriously and concerns seriously and I am a better person for it. My wife is better because of it. I "retired" (happily) on the advice of Jack and Big Poppa. I owe them alot and love them for it!

I was a bouncer for real in a few of the roughest dives in New Orleans.
Need a bouncer? Try me.

Because skydiving rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you knew how airplanes are really made/put together, you'd jump too.
I hate it when I get that one window seat where there's some sort of condensation leak and it starts dripping water on me about 5 hours into the ride. Yay. At least my body will be the first one to be torn to bits when it finally gives and a big gaping hole opens up in the plane.
And that concludes my morbid thought of the day.

Yeah but it's not like having your balls ripped off by timberwolves. That's how I'd want to go.

Landing safely rules. Skydiving is what happens before that. Without a properly functioning parachute, a skydiver is still a skydiver...until he becomes a lawn dart.
Just a little observation from your good buddy, Captain Obvious!

I hate when that happens.
I want to go like Nelson Rockefeller did.
You youngsters and ferriners will just have to look that up on your own.

Marriage has really calmed him...
When I see "these types" of threads I sometimes get in my wayback machine and realize that left to their natural course there is never any good that comes from them. With the possible exception of BP's well thought out politically correct psychologically insightful CEOesq comments that never seem to get noticed.
So Either:
A. I'll say something to piss off BP, He will determine that my sanity is the real issue and close the thread.
Not that that is terribly inaccurate but still....
B. Somebody else will say something to piss off BP then koogs gets peer pressured to bust out a taunting and that's just not the koogs I know and love.
But BP likes the fanny kiss I know I would.
C. The thread will become irreparably derailed and then some of the funniest stuff gets written. That's the only good option I see
So to that end there is one part of this thread where I asked a question that was promptly ignored....
Here it is. Could we talk about this for a bit
