Parachute

[lostcarpark]

Today I took my sister-in-law to do her charity parachute jump, about an hour and a half away from where we live. It was a good day out, even if there was a lot of waiting around for gaps in the cloud cover, Sandra thought the jump was fantastic. She was doing a tandem jump, and her instructor promised her "air orgasms", so that could be something to do with it.

I would love to do a few parachute jumps, and ultimately learn to skydive. I don't think I could bring myself to do it as a charity event. It's one thing asking people to sponsor me for something that will be hard work when all of the money will go to the cause, but I can't help feeling there's something a little bit dodgy about asking people to give me money so I can spend half of it on a fun event for me.

Just my opinion.

If you go SPLAT on the ground that won't be much fun.

Except for your friends who get to point and laugh and say, "Ha! See where charity got you!"
