Having just completed Jump School, the young trooper boarded the jump plane and hooked up his Static Line. On the command "GO" he exited the plane and his chute emerged tangled up, he cut it free then pulled the ripcord on his reserve chute, and his reserve chute was also tangled up. He prayed to his God and looked down to the ground below. To his amazement, a leg troop was coming up with equal velocity. "Hey, you know anything about parachutes?" he shouted to him, as they passed by. The reply: "No... you know anything about Coleman stoves?"
