« sleeper in Harry Potter | Main | interpol »
My cube neighbor at the office is an avid skydiver. She’s gotten me all psyched about jumping out of airplanes to the point that I’m really, really thinking of doing it.
Should I? You make the call. If I throw up, I’ll never hear the end of it. If I chicken out, I’ll never hear the end of it.

Do it! You might die! And things that might kill you are part of what makes life worth living!

I say combine this with an office prank. Like, take the fax machine skydiving with you. Or, instead of jumping out yourself, take the boss' Aeron chair and shove that out of the airplane. Take pictures. Put them on the intranet or hang up in the bathroom. Even better, sit in the Aeron chair on the way down (probably kind of a difficult jump for your first time, though).

DO IT!!! you'll always regret it if you don't. at the same time though, make sure you'll really go through with it, because...well....maybe that should be a private email. tralalala.

.... of course - reading the comments... it would suck to die.. but it would suck twice as much to die with some dude's crotch attached to your butt... (still go - you may get a lady diver)

What they're describing is tandem, ask your cubemate if that's how the jumpmaster will have you jump. Another option is static line, where they shove you out of a perfectly good airplane and a string attached to the plane pulls your rip cord (so you can't forget). Static line takes more time to learn. If your cube mate is enthusiastic about base jumping, back away slowly... :)

The way these things work is that you have a guy strapped firmly behind you and his crotch will be pressed against your butt as you let out a girlie scream... because you're falling and you're afraid, of course. So yeah, go for it dude.

you should do it - the way that these things work you'll be strapped onto the back of an experienced diver leaving you to suck your thumb in post-natal bliss re-dreaming your first six months on earth - see my "web" link below for a pic of you sky-diving. That and you'll yell, "Mama, whoo hoo, my tummy go weeeeeee."

That is understandable that cash can make people disembarrass. But what to do if someone does not have cash? The one way is to get the loan or financial loan.
