Jump School

[palmettopirate]

A little girl asked, "Daddy, have you ever been in the service?"

"Sure," dad replied. "I was in the airborne."

"What's that?' the girl asked.

"We jumped out of airplanes with parachutes," said the daddy.

"I bet that was fun, huh?" said the little girl.

"Not really. It was pretty scary at first," said the daddy.

"Why?"

Dad explained, "Well we went through jump school on the ground and learned how to jump from towers but when we got in the plane it was different. We flew up real high and got over a place they called the jump zone and we had to line up and jump out when the jump master told us to. When it was my turn to jump I looked out the door and got scared and wouldn't jump."

"What happened then?" asked the girl.

Dad answered, "Well the jump master told me that we were gonna miss the jump zone if I didn't jump and if that happened he had something for me and when we got on the ground he was gonna stick it where the sun don't shine."

The little girl asked, " Well did you jump daddy?"

Daddy could only reply, " Just a little, honey, just a little."
