Agreed.

There isn't actually, as you said, simply charge a deposit at the start which you get back if your chute is still usable.

>> However my instructor said I was the only person she'd ever seen to jump out of the plane completely fearless. I also landed right next to her in precisely the correct position. The other guys were 100 yards away at least. She was fucking gorgeous and got drunk on site every night (they slept their in caravans). Unfortunately one of the other guys in my group was a 17 year old cute boy so he got laid and I didn't. She kept pinching his arse when showing us how to to do the correct jumping position in practice.

Alcohol tastes better than shit. Although a colleague once asked if I was drinking piss at lunchtime, I said "no it's applejuice", it was actually cider. Alcohol at work probably wasn't allowed!

Obviously most people lose money, since there's the profits of the company and the "charities" they donate to.

No it isn't. Probably just not invented yet. Why travel back all the way to now when the lottery winnings are smaller?

So did she win a million US dollars or a million of her own worthless currency?

When I was 13, my friend smoked heavily (also 13). We walked to the local shop before school and he just walked in and bought them, no questions asked.

When I was 18 I bought tonnes of alcohol for my friend (16)'s little brother (14). He got pissed, made a council house girl pregnant, then left the country.

And you've just joined them.

As for the TV, piratebay is free.

I don't like plastic, it's too artificial. Skimpy denim is better.
