First Sky Diving Jump

A fellow gets ready to make his first jump. His jumpmaster sees
he's nervous and says, "Don't worry. Just get out there, arch,
count to ten, and pull your main ripcord. If there's a problem
with the main, you know you have a reserve. When you land, the
truck will pick you up and take you back to the loft."


So the fellow exits, arches and pulls. Nothing happens. He pulls
on his reserve ripcord. Dirty laundry comes out of the reserve
container. He's falling faster, close to terminal, and he looks
at the ground and says, "Great. I bet the darn truck won't be
there, either."
