"You do not need a parachute to skydive."

"You only need a parachute to skydive twice."

Skydiving's not for you

    As someone who appreciates shorter posts, I found this one enjoyable.

    How about some other "pithy" quotes supplied by fellow BCs?

    For example:

    "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

    "In heaven all the interesting people are missing."
    - Friedrich Nietzsche

    "Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it."
    - Henry David Thoreau
