I scheduled a skydive for my son's 15 th birthday, with Wright Bros. Skydiving, in Harrisburg Oregon. Unfortunately, & against their own wishes, they were forced to cancel because of wind conditions. Steven Wright was furious that his license demanded the cancellation, but oh well, right? The next day, in defiance of both his licensure & the winds, Steven did a solo dive & perished because of the winds. With skydiving, you can't even trust the judgement of your guide.
To a Russian ear, "God" and "Guts" sound very similar. :) We tend to devoice consonants at the end of words-for instance, "God" might sound like "Got."
Oh my!!! I wouldn't have jumped! I would have to just come back with the damn parachute. Once I went to the Walking Dead attraction at Universal, and the zombies jumping at me were so realistic (damn good actors!), that I couldn't make myself go through and asked to be escorted out :) But I can do any scary rollercoaster :P
When I was on the same attraction, I hit a zombie out of fear when he unexpectedly jumped towards me:)) The employee’s voice: said “Don’t hit our zombies.” :)
you are the best!
Hilarious and inspiring at the same time! ❤
Great story!🎉

Maybe next time? Was he looking forward to that?)
You are officially the bravest person in my life 💪🏻
This is a wonderful story, very well told! Could you explain the joke at the end for me?
