Myth #2 Debunked, Part 2

What did you come up with as an answer to yesterday's exercise.  Unless you are missing a finger or two, the answer should be three.  Anotherwords everytime you point your finger at someone, you have three fingers pointing right back at yourself.  I'll bring this concept up later on so keep the results 'handy'.

 

One of the local programs produced here in New Hampshire is called New Hampshire Chronicle.  It airs each weekday evening here on one of the local commercial TV stations.  They travel around the state of New Hampshire showing the different people, events, and history around the Granite State.

 

A few years back they decided to cross the border into Maine to do a segment on seeing fall colors from a different perspective.  This perspective happened to be while skydiving.  The program went through the whole process from signing the 4-page disclaimer/waiver to interviewing the other first time jumpers that were also going to be jumping that day, to going up in the plane, to jumping out of the plane, to the freefall and landing, to the interviews afterwards.

 

The female reporter/co-host of the program, at the time, was the one that was assigned to go jump from the airplane.  She makes a point to note the page on the disclaimer that states in big bold lettering that you could die from skydiving.  She jokes about the fact that she is actually going to sign it.

 

She interviews the other two people making their first jump.  The other woman that was going to be jumping with her said, "I've turned 40 and have never did anything like this.  So why not."

 

She puts the microphone into the guys mouth and ask, "Why are you doing this".

He replies, "Because I'm a little bit crazy".

She asks, "And your how old"

He replies, "I'm 59 and I'd like to be 60."

 

Separately she comments, "I'm going to go call my mom and tell her I'm about to do this and I know she is going to say, make sure and wear your good underwear."

 

After the jump the reporter is asked by the cameraman, "What do you want to say to people who have never done it before?"

She replies, "Oh my god, you have to try it."

 

After the other two students land she ask the guy, "How was it?"

He replies, "It was awesome.  It was really terrific"

 

She asks, "Is this something you think you will do again?"

The woman replies, "Yes."

The man replies, "Absolutely."

 

Now the real question is when the crew from New Hampshire Chronicle visited Oak Hill, did they bother to put on the skis and do any jumping?

 

Stay tuned tomorrow to find out.

 

Until next time

Keep the ski tips up,
