6323 - Long joke Sunday


All his life, Bob had dreamed of going skydiving.

So for his 70th #birthday he finally got up the nerve, splurged on taking the course, and then went up in the airplane for his first jump. 

As he leapt out into the sky, remembering his lessons, he counted to five and pulled the rip cord. 

But ... Nothing happens. So he pulls it again. And again. And again.

Yet, again nothing happens. 

He panics and starts yanking on that rip cord as hard and as fast as he can. 

Right about that time he passes this little old lady going straight UP!

"Excuse me!" he hollers. "Do you know anything about parachutes?"

She hollers back, "Nope, sorry! Do you know anything about gas stoves?'

Maybe he'll catch up to her again when he is going straight up and they can have a longer conversation.

That would be one heck of a bounce.

At least they didn't meet head on.

We flew in to St. Louis and spent the night. Missouri air is impressive. Poor lady! Don't worry, she will soon have an electric stove.

Little late for either one of them to learn.

They're both having a really bad day.

Mike said...

Did you see them fly by when you were landing?

Mike said...

Better late than never, right? 😆

It's good to have company when you're having a bad day.

It's getting harder to find new ones!

Now there would be a good back up to a failed parachute!
