Ive got a sky diving joke....Its a little gay but what the hell

A young soldier soon after basic training deicded to go to jump school. He learned all the techniques and was all prepared to jump, while in the door way he froze with fear. He told his dad " I was scared out of my pants the instructor (a 6'5 250 pound large man) said "If you dont get your ass out that door I'm gonna put my c0k in your ass, I'll give you to the count of 3"
He tried shoving the young soldier out the door and it didnt work. "Well son, did you jump?" his mom asked. "Yeah but only a little at first"

LMAO, dont flame me i thought it was pretty funny.

It was weird. In a way, it's alot like the parachute jump at Great Adventure, but ALOT more freefall. The live jump was only about 15 seconds. You go so fast, your guts go into your lungs! hehe

my dad had to jump when he was in the military during Vietnam. He said it scared the shit outta him, even in peacetime. he was the 2nd guy in the stick, since they ordered them by height, with biggest in front. My dad was the tallest man in the company, while the captain was smaller but in front because, well, he was a captain oOo: . But he said it was an expierence and i think he broke his leg or something on a jump...i forget, i should ask him
