Good Stuff
Supremely bored skydivers go for thrills. They push trucks and cars
out of planes and ride them down. They recline on a living room
couch and watch TV as they plunge to earth. They sky surf. They
don wings and glide across the horizon at 90 miles and hour. They
perform every antic while free falling you can think of. One loser
jumped out without wearing his parachute, on purpose. Yeah, he
lived but it’s definitely a stupid trick. Boredom is enemy of the
sane and the mother of entertainment!

In wonderful style, two skydivers lounge on
a sofa watching TV as they plunge earthward
(above). They jettison quickly while the sofa/TV/
den set crashes to the ground. Just for sillies,
a group dives headfirst, and then inverts the
picture, as if they were hanging from the globe.
