A man went skydiving for the first time. After
listening to the instructor for what seemed like
days, he was ready to go. Excited, he jumped out
of the airplane. About five seconds later, he pulled
the ripcord. Nothing happened. He tried again.
Still nothing. He started to panic, but remembered
his back-up chute. He pulled that cord. Nothing
happened. He frantically began yanking both cords
to no avail.

Suddenly he looked down, and he couldn't believe his
eyes. Another man was in the air with him, but this
guy was going up! Just as the other guy passed by,
the skydiver yelled, "Hey, do you know anything
about skydiving?"

The other guy yelled back, "No! Do you know anything
about gas stoves?"
