The First Jump

A very anxious man is excited to go skydiving for his very first time. He stands shifting his weight from foot to foot while listening to his instructor give him a few last-minute instructions. Once the instructor gives him the okay, he jumps out of the plane. After falling for about 5 seconds, he pulls his ripcord only to find that nothing happens. Panicking just a little bit, the man remembers what his instructor told him about his reserve chute and he pulls on that cord. Again, nothing happens. He starts frantically yanking on both cords but he only continues to fall. Looking down, he sees that there is also another man in the air but oddly, this man is going up! The man going up starts coming up beside him and the skydiver yells, “Hey, do you know anything about skydiving?”

The man going up looks at him and yells back, “No! Do you know anything about gas stoves?”
